What more can I say that hasn’t already been said about Kirkham Hot Springs? Which is excellent, in terms of textile soaking. When driving past the full pullout for Skinnydipper on the way in, I noticed that even the pullouts before and after were akin to overflow parking. Pine Flats and Hot Springs campground had a couple vehicles and sole campers each. Timing for Kirkham was just right, as four groups of people all left upon approach. Two other groups pulled-up and parked as my ride sped off down highway 21, long after a great soak was had.

Minimal trash was a welcome surprise and all people encountered were of the friendly lot. There was about four pools prime for soaking. The largest pool had some nice depth to it as well. Watching the sun set and moon rise from the hot springs was the icing on the cake.

Sadly, just like the rest of Idaho and the northwest, there was a severe lack of snow evident for this time of the year. It practically looked like September outside. Unless paramount snowfall occurs, this summer will see a multitude of wildfires. :(

Jerry Johnson Hot Springs, located in the Clearwater National Forest in Idaho. Lots of friendly folks (and illegal campers/trashholes!), but still a great soak and good time.

Alright, you got me, it’s actually in 3 minutes and 1 second. Close. This was from a July trip in the area spent hiking and backpacking to area hot springs in the Clearwater National Forest and Selway Bitterroot Wilderness.

Hiking and Hot Springs in the Boise National Forest from HSG on Vimeo.

An early spring hiking trip to and near hot springs in the Boise National Forest. Spring runoff is a little late this season, submerging hot springs, trails and making river fords impossible. A careful route had to be selected, regardless, awesome natural hot springs pools were located and properly qualified.

The Return to Bonneville (Hot Springs) from HSG on Vimeo.

At the start of every Spring I like to hike out to Bonneville Hot Springs in the Boise National Forest. The campground of the same name is still snowbound, and remains closed while the hot springs are somewhat accessible. It’s just in time to beat Spring runoff, when snow melt from the mountains will surge through the creeks and rivers, submerging and obliterating any man-made soaking pools. This is one of the only times you can experience such an incredible place for oneself. I come because it’s the perfect time of the year to renew my relationship with nature.

Penny Hot Springs in the Boise National Forest

YouTube Video Link – Vimeo Video Link

Welcome to Penny Hot Springs, 3 hot springs sources located in the Boise National Forest NE of Cascade, Idaho and NW of Warm Lake, Idaho. Only 1 of the 3 is a good soak. There is also a bonus hot springs in the Payette National Forest at the end of the clip.

Two Penny

Aside from the guy asleep sitting up in his flatbed pickup in the parking area (been there minus the flatbed), the trip was fairly uneventful. No trash too!! I was really happy about this fact after the rampage I witnessed here during the July South Fork Payette River fishing destruction derby. Major Kudos to the Krassel work crews for taking good care of such a special place.
