An oasis just a few hours away from Orange County, located between Lake Arrowhead and Hesperia. There are about 5 hot springs with sometimes a couple more depending on whether or not people sandbag some other ones along the creek. Each hot spring varies in temperature which vary from very hot to just hot, getting colder in the pools closer to the creek. There are a few different sources coming out of the ground where the water is way too hot to get in but by the time it flows down into the pools, it's a little cooler. The creek itself is actually a river that you can swim around in and is typically cold but varies depending on the time of year you visit, winter and early summer you can expect the creek to be very cold but mid to late summer the creek is very nice especially after you get in from your hike to cool off before soaking in the tubs. There are no resources here including trash pickup so PACK IT IN PACK IT OUT! Also avoid bringing glass. There are actually 4 ways to get here including the main route from Bowen Ranch (Hesperia), from up or down the Pacific Crest Trail (farther routes), and from Bradford Ridge (Lake Arrowhead) which is the less known route and the guide you'll find here since it's also the closest route from Orange County.
