About Hiko Spring
Hiko Spring offers an authentic encounter with nature in the heart of Nevada’s Pahranagat Valley. This warm spring, with soothing waters at 90°F, boasts historical roots as an essential water source since the 19th century. Its rugged setting invites a quiet, reflective soak amid vast desert landscapes.
Getting There
Reaching Hiko Spring takes some effort, as it lies in a remote area with no paved roads directly to the site. You’ll navigate unmarked dirt paths accessible by high-clearance vehicles. Parking is limited near the spring, and preparing for a short walk through arid terrain is wise.
What to Expect
The spring pool offers comfortably warm water surrounded by natural desert scenery, creating a peaceful, low-key atmosphere. You won’t find developed facilities here—no restrooms or showers—just raw nature and a sense of solitude that’s rare among Nevada swimming holes. Expect limited crowds due to its primitive accessibility.
Tips for Visitors
Visit during cooler months to avoid the desert heat, bringing plenty of water and sun protection. There are no entrance fees, but pack out all trash to preserve the pristine environment. Respect local wildlife and plant life, keeping noise low to maintain the tranquil vibe of this historic warm spring.
