Jerry Johnson Hot Springs Idaho

This is three pool areas on an easy mile hike in a scenic area.

The first pool area known as "the waterfall pools" are down the bank from the trail right at waterline. These are easy to miss if no one is in them. They need a creek water mix to be comfortable. 115° water gushes from holes in the bank and pours into one pool after another.

You can't miss the second pools. The water from the second area crosses the trail to the creek. The hottest pool is just above the path. There are more pools over the rocks by the creek. These rocky pools vary in size and temperature. Take your pick.

The third spring is past the others in a grassy meadow above the trail and has two rock and mud soaking pools. One is thigh deep. It maintains a steady 106° temperature without creek water. The silty bottom is easily stirred up.
