We regularly visit these hot springs about 4 times per year. We recommend any visitors to the area to visit as well. There are several pools with varying degrees of temperature, as well as various depths. The surroundings are intimate yet roomy with the hot springs tucked back in the valley in a nestling of rocks at the spring's source.... More

Four pools of varying temperature. Very clean in a setting that is natural and beautiful. The manager Samantha was a true delight making my experience great. There is even silky white sand surrounding the lower pools. The entire operation functions "off the grid", pretty amazing when you look at the whole package. It is a 4 mile drive up a... More

First time going and found a very clean multiple pool setup. Staff was very friendly and was a enjoyable hour in the pool. Road was better than I anticipated and scenery was gorgeous. I would recommend anyone to take advantage of this relatively inexpensive trip and relaxation.

Huge pools. Very clean. Friendly staff. I wish we'd thought to bring a lunch so we could have stayed awhile longer! The road to the hot springs was kind of rough but definitely worth the drive!!

Was a little cautious about a developed hot springs, but this is done well. The pool temps vary from VERY hot to nice and comfortable. The pools themselves are clean and laid out well. It can get a little crowded and the road can be in rough shape, but I was very satisfied.

From the hottest one can stand to the cool down tub, taking the progression leaves you feeling out of this world relaxed!

An inexpensive way to relax in a beautiful setting! I was hesitant to go to the Gold Fork Hot Springs, because they charge a small fee and there are many free hot springs in the area. There is no doubt in my mind now that Gold Fork is a far better experience than the local undeveloped hot springs, and worth... More

Lovely pools incorporating natural rock features. Clean, well maintained, friendly staff. The hottest pool at about 107 is tough to get in at first, but feels so good on tired ski legs! Downstream pools are progressively cooler. Small changing rooms, lockers for valuables, snack food and drinks for sale, someone said even suits for rent, make it easy to enjoy.... More

Loved it! For $8 you got a locker and to spend all the time that you wanted in the hot spring. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was great! Very nice, clean, the water was super refreshing. It was pretty crowded for February, and there were families and groups of adults, and you can bring your own beverages.... More

We recently moved from Idaho and this is one of the spots we miss the most. We spent quite a few nights here at the springs. There was nothing better than spending a few hours in the clean hot water spring. To be surrounded by the mist, with only tiki-torches for lighting, looking up at a glorious star filled sky... More
