Trailhead with the self-pay station. Parking is $2.
A wide trail begins climbing immediately from the trailhead.
The first junction is clearly marked. Continue toward the hot springs.
The second junction is unsigned. Make a right here, paralleling the creek that flows from the springs.
A right at the last junction would continue on the scenic fire road to Gaviota Peak.
A narrow foot path through poison oak leads the last climbing stretch to the springs.
The grotto with the lower pool.
The lower pool catches the flow from the upper and is set in a scenic grotto beneath a large palm tree.
Two stone pools at the springs.
The upper pool has mineral-colored waters and is the warmer of the two because it is set immediately next to the source.
