Nice hike in but in early March you need at least 98.6 not 90 degrees to make you want to run bare through the snow. Trails are not well marked and deer trails abound. More

These springs are an enjoyable hike in and have a great wilderness setting. They are definitely shallow warm springs. More

Great slightly strenuous hike from battleship rock totally worth the amazing views and gorgeous hot springs. HOWEVER these pools are not hot enough to make it worthwhile in the winter. More

I was worried about a hot trek in followed by a hot spring (it being June) but the hike was interesting, up-and-down terrain (we started from the waterfall side, not the ship rock side) though it seemed longer than the advertised "couple of miles."

After a quite warm, 2 mile hike up, to jump into the hot spring was Heaven on Earth! Nobody else was there. The neon tetras danced at our feet and the water was crystal clear!

Mc Cauley Springs proved to be a very relaxing and most of all beautiful experience! The three pools fed by the spring stay at a constant temperature (approx 95 or 99%) and are large enough to accomodate several couples or individuals. The scenery can't be beat and is definately worth the hike. This area is considered clothing optional which proved... More
