Including directions in the comment section of a post in order to help others find new hot springs is also encouraged. It is the sincere hope of the mod that HotSpringsWest may become a comprehensive resource for soaking enthusiasts worldwide.

Any recommendations on Oregon Hot Springs for fall/winter time visits? Preferably west of cascades.
Does anyone know if the Midway hot springs (not the crater but the ones that were just out in a vacant lot in some neighborhood) is still around? About 20 years ago someone cleaned them up, put down gravel and made them really nice, then about 15 years ago it got bought up by someone that made it private property and the police hovered around giving everyone that scoffed at the signs a class b misdemeanor, but since then, anyone know what happened or what’s going on with them today?
First time!
Idaho
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.
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?
and looking for the best hot spring near Denver. Anyone been to a good one they could recommend? Im looking at Hot Sulphur Springs or Indian Hot Springs since it's closer. I'd like a great experience tho and wouldn't mind driving farther
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?
I love the way the sun is coming through the stream of this natural geyser-fed sauna in Oregon ☺️
I’m hoping to visit this hot spring in Utah but I don’t know where in Utah it is. Does anyone recognize it?
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.
Hey I am looking for some new spots to try. I am traveling from Idaho falls to cascade area there are so many to choose from so help me narrow it down. I am looking possible in the Atlanta and Ketchum areas as well. But I am also probably going to try and make it to banks lowman hwy. Hey I am looking for some new spots to try.

But if you have any especially in the Atlanta area or Ketchum areas that should be avoided let me know. DMs open I wouldn’t mind some that I have to hike into.

can concur
need a good towel recommendation, had to throw my old ones out and need to find something solid.
what are your guys favorite towel to bring to a hot spring?
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.
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
My wife and I are staying in Salida, CO tonight. Is there anywhere to soak on our way to Ouray, CO? Thanks in advance
