Fifth water hot springs in Utah is dead

Warning: rant ahead. Hiked to fifth water in Utah today at 5 AM and it was awesome for about 30 minutes. I went nude cause I was all alone and then some guy comes and asks me to put my swimsuit on (no big deal but I was a little annoyed since I was there first and there was plenty other places for him to go). Then the influencers came. I went to a section that’s kinda hidden and before long two women show up and will not stop taking posed pictures of each other. I decide to go to the main springs cause they are annoying me and it’s even worse. One woman has a tripod set up taking pics. Then another woman has a professional photographer taking pictures with a drone flying overhead. I got home and immediately deleted my social media accounts (except Reddit) cause I’m so sick and tired of influencers ruining cool spots like hot springs. I was really looking forward to this trip cause life has been so stressful and it felt ruined. Rant over, thanks for listening.

Mystic HS in UT... worth an overnight?

Hey there we'll be passing through SLC to parts South in October. Mystic is on the way. Is it worth staying overnight at the campground or better to soak and bail? How are the crowds on weekends?

Connecting with people you meet. I recently met someone and had a great conversation. Nothing physical. We shared enough information about ourselves to make this person easy to find. While we didn’t share contact info - is it weird creepy to reach out?

Seems I’ve moved to a dry spot..

I’m a avid hot springer and I’ve moved to the north Idaho/ east Washington area. I’ve done some research and come up short. Is there and hot springs around Moscow/ Spokane area?

Build and fill party November 15-17 western Idaho

Hey everyone I am hoping to get a group of people together to help build and fill a hot spring. By build I mean to improve or build up an existing spring. To either make a new pool or expand and deepen an existing pool. I would like to celebrate our completion of the project with a nude soak and maybe a little adult fun. Right now I am just trying to see who is interested and if you have any suggestions for hot springs that could use some building up. Let me know what you think.

Disabled friendly OR/WA, similar to Sol Duc?

I'd been planning to go to Sol Duc because of the beauty and because it appears the pools are a reeeeally short walk from the cabins. But the drive is too long. Any places you can recommend closer to PDX? Basically, I can't hike into a place, and the pools need handrails.

Terwilliger/cougar hot springs I'm Oregon

Has anyone been there recently? Seems like most of the reviews I find are before the fires a few years ago. Curious if they're still just as busy and if it's worth trying to go in the summer

Anyone ever found a new hot spring?

I’ve always thought that in areas that have lots of hotsprings, there has got to be others hidden away, even if they take a long hike to get too. Or even just bubbling springs that have yet to be developed. Is that wishful thinking or has anyone found any springs that are otherwise unknown?

Hot spring tourism: which countries do you recommend?

Many countries have hot springs, but which countries have natural hot springs that are worth travelling for? E.g. are the soaks in Iceland better than Japan or the United States? Which countries or routes make for the best hot spring tours?

Is there a subreddit dedicated to all hot springs worldwide?

Asking here as this is the closest thing I can find to a match to this kind of subreddit. Is there subreddit for talking about the best hot springs worldwide? The /r/hotsprings name is already taken by some city unfortunately. Please advise!
