I bought this book thinking that it would guide me to wonderful hot springs. The descriptions were not always entirely accurate. I have visited hot springs all over Idaho based on this book and other information gathered by other outdoor friends. It doesn't have all the hot springs that are out there- like the hot springs on the wind river just up from the mouth. Some time it includes what are barely hot springs... like owl creek on the salmon river and ones on Panther creek in Idaho off the main salmon. A good starter guide for some hot springs, some good descriptions... a little bit to generous about how "great" they really are- I found that most of the hot springs tend to be crowded with naked pot-smokers, drunk and smelling foul. This was not included in the pages of this book.

My partner and I have used this countless times during our hot spring adventures. Gold Bug is our favorite so far.

The book came to me in excellent condition and is very easy to read and follow. Very informative.

Now in an updated fourth edition, Hiking Hot Springs in the Pacific Northwest is a no-nonsense travel guide to exploring the mountains of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia for unique geothermal experiences, from streamside pools to hand-crafted bathhouses and much more. Hiking Hot Springs In The Pacific Northwest includes detailed maps, hiking descriptions, difficulty ratings, trail lengths, information on seasonal access and restrictions to various locales, details on the quality of each soaking pool, its water temperature, and the scenery of its setting, and much more. An easy-to-use, quick-lookup "must-have" guide for anyone interested in getting the most out of a Northwest hot springs hiking trip.
