About this place

Added by Echo Adams

Arrive at Stanley Hot Springs via an amazing hike with rewarding views and naturally, superb hot springs. Great camping spot as well.

Start your hike to the hot springs at trailhead 211.  Trail is roughly 5 miles with an easy gradual incline. Enjoy some of the mountainous views on your way.  There are no signs directing you to the hot springs but there will be two forks in the road and you'll take the right path both times.  Be aware that there is a river you must cross about 1/2 mile before arriving and there is no bridge.  In winter the water will be pretty high and might make it difficult to cross.  Once you have arrived enjoy setting up camp in a beautiful treed area and then go soak your weary body in the pools.  Star gazing is AMAZING out there as well!

Great hike. . . great times
This is the perfect hot springs adventure! Soak your sore feet in the hot springs after the hike and warm up during those chilly nights.
