National Forest Development Road 186

"The trailhead for the 4.5-mile trail to Council Hot Springs is located on the side of NF-186 near Council Mountain. The coordinates for the trailhead are 44.6485700, -116.3049200. Directions for the trailhead can also be found in the AllTrails app included in this Place. The trail itself is rated as moderate, and is lightly trafficked, as these hot springs are a bit lesser known and harder to get to than other Idaho hot springs. The trail has an elevation gain of 1246ft and is pretty well marked. The hot springs are located at the edge of a river, and vary in temperatures. Sometimes they are unusable due to temperatures being too hot or too cold, but either way, the trail is beautiful. Camping nearby: Cabin Creek Campground."
