We parked on the NE side of the airport since they were running Helo ops
on the other end. Not knowing exactly where the springs were we starting
off on a trail marked Warm springs trail. Bad choice. It is a horse
trail that heads up the mountain. Back to the end of the runway. We
stood there for a minute. The road turn in the wrong direction. The
airport diagram confirmed it. There was a fire pit in front of us. Went
went over and had a look. A trial went down the hill towards the creek.
We took it. It took us to a road that leads to a camping area. This was
the camping area we saw on the way in. I had been previously told the
springs were near the campground. Once in the camping area there were
signs to the hot springs. The hike was about a mile from the airplane to
the springs. Well worth the walk. Some one or many ones went to a lot of
trouble to fashion several pools from the creek where the hot springs
enters. The mix was perfect! Pool temps a little above 100. The view
magnificent. The company was good, the pools were outstanding,
priceless. Un-fortunately after a couple of hours we had to leave. But
not until I got a little fly fishing in. A very nice afternoon.


Went to Warm Springs a few years ago. The description in the Fly Idaho
book is not very good on how to get to the hot springs. Did the same
thing as you, started up the mountain. There's also a hot spring at
Atlanta. We got there a little late in the morning, would've been stuck
there all day. So we walked into town and had a Coke at the bar and
then walked back to the airstrip. I'd like to get back there.
