Shepherd Hot Springs
@CaliHiker805
You’re probably going to want AWD or 4x4 capabilities to get to this one - the road is pretty bumpy, but this is one of my favorite hot springs in the area. It’s pretty small - probably could fit up to 6 people, but 4 is more comfortable.

Wild Willy's Hot Spring
@CaliHiker805
This is the largest hot spring in the area. There are actually a couple different pools here and a large parking lot. From the parking lot, you’ll walk down the wooden walkway about 1/4 of a mile to the pools.

The Rock Tub Hot Springs
@CaliHiker805
This is one of the smallest hot springs in the area. It can probably comfortably fit up to 2 people. It’s pretty easy to get to though.

Crab Cooker Hot Springs
@CaliHiker805
This little pool is off a pretty bumpy road. It’s recommended but not required to have AWD or 4x4 driving capabilities. It’s a small poop, and can comfortably fit about 6 people. There is a nob to adjust the water temperature.
