Before you go

Keep your head above water

Warm fresh water can carry a rare brain-eating amoeba. Don’t dunk your head or let water go up your nose.

Test before you soak

Natural springs can be scalding near the source. Many thermal areas, like geyser basins, are off-limits to soaking.

Pack it out

Primitive springs have no trash service. Leave no glass or soap, and respect clothing-optional customs where posted.
