ONE OF A KIND BOOK-NICE ATTENTION TO DETAIL,
This review is from: Hot Springs and Hot Pools of the Southwest: Jayson Loam's Original Guide (Paperback)
This is probably the best hot spring book in existence for the southwestern U.S.. It is great, it has everything you need. Beyond the locations themselves, the book lists temperature of the pools, driving direcetions, driving conditions, exact GPS coordinates, accessability and a great description of the springs along with some black and white pictures. It has all of the major hot springs in it (I am sure there are still some minor ones on private property). I have been to a couple of the sites in the book and it was easy to find them. I would highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Hot Springs and Hot Pools of the Southwest: Jayson Loam's Original Guide (Hot Springs & Hot Pools of the Southwest: Jayson Loam's) (Paperback)
My wife and I bought this book in Salida, Colorado after aborting a week-long backpacking trip due to weather. Instead, we used the book as a guide taking us to a couple wonderful hot springs. Our first experience was the Rainbow Springs hot spring near Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado. It involved a pretty good hike and we camped out. The guide wasn't entirely up to date. Some of the directions were no longer valid (happens with remote sites). But we managed.
The book really came in handy as we were heading home and needed a place to rest for the night. It had the phone number for Joyful Journeys with information about their lodging. We ended up camping there and discovering our favorite hot springs. Since then we've used the book to plan vacations in New Mexico and Southern California. We like to add a hot springs or two to our journeys and this book is the right guide for it! The photos are a little grainy and all black and white. Generally the springs look nicer than they do in the photos. Some of the directions are a bit dated but you can usually find better directions on the[...] first!

This review is from: Hot Springs and Hot Pools of the Southwest: Jayson Loam's Original Guide (Hot Springs & Hot Pools of the Southwest: Jayson Loam's) (Paperback)
If you like hot springs, this is the book for you! The most information in the easiest format to follow. The directions are better than most other books like it, Really I haven't found a hot spring book that compares, this one has been around a long time and it's still the best. Also has been revised so its up to date.
