      Soaking With Naked People at the Deep Creek Hot Springs

There are hundreds of miles of endless trails, ranging from easy to difficult, winding through our beautiful mountains. Unfortunately, most of them are dry and dusty with very little shade and no water. So when we heard about a cluster of natural hot springs in an isolated canyon in the high desert, we jumped. Mountain canyons, sand beaches, swimming holes and natural hot springs … what more could we wish for on a hiking trip? That’s how we started our Deep Creek Hot Springs adventure. Continue Reading
