This primitive site features two overlapping pools, including a larger soaking area where you can immerse yourself in naturally heated waters reaching around 136°F. The desert’s vast openness and solitude add to the elemental experience.
Getting There
Reaching BLACK ROCK Hot Springs requires a challenging hike of over an hour across rugged desert terrain, demanding good stamina and preparation. Parking options near the trailhead are extremely limited, so arriving early is recommended to secure a spot.
