About these waters
A vintage 1947 bathhouse and motel combo pumping 112-degree mineral water from beneath a sandstone layer. Its European-style bath house has separate men's and women's sides with original-tiled private tubs, plus open-air rooftop jet tubs for stargazing soaks. Modest motel apartments with kitchenettes make it one of the most affordable classic bathhouse stays in town.

Good to know
- Listing researched October 2026 — prices and hours change, always confirm with the spring before visiting.
- Hydrate between soaks and limit hot soaks to 15–20 minutes — mineral water dehydrates fast.
- Wild springs run on the honor system: pack out everything, leave the pool cleaner than you found it.
