General Description
A difficult hike in rugged wilderness is rewarded with a barley used
hot springs complete with excellent primitive camping. You'll want
to at least do this one as an overnighter, at least. However, you
will have to work for your soak aside from the challenging hike in;
spring runoff destroys the lower pools and the upper pool is
overtaken with horse fly larva, algae and silt due to low usage.

ground.Briefings

Warm Springs Creek Hot Springs aka Sitz Bath was pretty cool. The
primitive camping was great, but due to other stellar soaks in the
area we opted to leave it be. However, on our way out, we witnessed
a small army of horse people setting up camp. There was a man with buckets galore going to town on the upper pool while
at least 6 large tents were being erected nearby. There was even a
naked little boy running through camp, screaming and with poo all
over himself. Nice. If this little soak wasn't in wilderness, I
would have rated it lower.
