Description

Follow this dry rocky trail to one of the prime hot spring destinations in the western Montana and northeastern Idaho area. The trail is fairly worn, with significant erosion close to the hotsprings from heavy use and trail cutting.

Tread carefully in the steeper sections and a the rock scree toward the end of the hike. You'll pass through thick areas of sage with spectacular yellows of the aspens and cottonwoods along the creek in the fall. At the end, you'll be greeted with several natural hot spring pools in which to relax and take in the scenery. Go early- this is a popular trail!

Great hike with quick incline that levels off and then climbs again. Hot springs were great
