Spring Runoff http://hotspringsguy.com/2010/06/spring-runoff/ http://hotspringsguy.com/2010/06/spring-runoff/#comments Sun, 13 Jun 2010 23:36:11 +0000 hotspringsguy http://hotspringsguy.com/?p=582

Trail Creek SUBMERGED!The core season for hot springing is almost upon us. It’s that blessed time of the year when just about every single hot springs becomes accessible. Spring runoff is still hampering access and submerging some soaks, but is already subsiding in some regions. Nonetheless, there are still plenty of hot springs left to be enjoyed.

Check the individual listings on IHS for seasonal access information for public Idaho hot springs, like spring runoff conditions. If you are not sure, call the area Forest Service/BLM office or leave a comment.

Check USGS real-time stream flows for Idaho rivers

This is also the time of year to make sure you take care of the places you visit. Don’t bring glass of any kind to a hot springs. The last year alone I’ve received a ridiculous number of email messages about people slicing their feet open while qualifying their favorite soak. Imagine the hike out and the cost of a hospital visit, or even little Johnny and Suzy – think of the children, man!

Don’t be shy about picking up other people’s trash either. The chances are that same nasty whatever will be stagnantly awaiting your return visit. Just grab it when you see it. All of my backpacks and vehicles each have two extra black garbage bags (gloves in backpacks for the truly gross) in them at all times. It has been routine for so long that I don’t even think about it anymore.

Commercial hot springs in Idaho are generally unaffected by spring runoff and most seasonal establishments are now open for the summer season.
