Bradford Ridge Path to Deep Creek Hot Springs Description
For those adventurers who like the idea of soaking their aching bones after a good trek into the desert, the Bradford Ridge Path to Deep Creek will be a fun and rewarding trail to explore. Just be sure to prepare yourself for the possibility of nudity, as some people choose to jump into the hot springs without clothing!
Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way to the northeast along the banks of Kinley Creek as it leaves the rugged terrain of the mountains behind in favour of the dry desert. Eventually, you will break away from the edge of the creek and continue on to the northeast across the undulating desert landscape.
After a gradual descent, you will eventually arrive at the banks of Deep Creek, where you will find a series of geothermal hot springs with varying temperatures around the 100℉ mark. Take slime time to explore the area and soak in the relaxing thermal pools, before heading back along the same trail for the return to the trailhead.
