I bought several guides to hot springs in Nevada & California, and this is clearly the best. Provides a B+W photo for every spring, as well as GPS coordinates, detailed driving instructions, pool temporature and detailed description. This book described several springs that were right under my nose and that were described nowhere else. If you get this guide, you won't need any other.

Each year we spend about four months traveling throughout the west in search of hot springs. HOT POOLS & HOT SPRINGS OF THE SOUTHWEST is our travel guide -- we wouldn't leave home without it. In all the southwestern states, this book has led us to the best soaks in existence. It is, by far, the most accurate and detailed guide available; none can compare with it. As with any printed guide, it can never be completely up to date because conditions do change, but that's a normal part of life. The publisher, Marjorie Gersh-Young welcomes information about changes in use, openings, closings, etc, and will incorporate them into future editions.

This is a great guide and the updated version is wonderful. GPS coordinates are a definite bonus, particularly for some of the more elusive springs. There is so much more information in this latest guide. We've been using an earlier edition for over 10 years, and enjoy each and every soak. Looking forward to exploring more!

This book sucks! It's an outdated edition with horrible directions, at least in Arizona.
I ended up following a pitted, rough, rocky, dusty road in a loaded down Honda Civic for 20+ miles and still didn't find the springs.
Stick to the Falcon Guide.

I absolutely LOVE this book. If you're a hot springs addict (like I am) you'll never leave home without it. It has remote hot springs with excellent directions, she-she spas, photos and honest descriptions. Clothing optional to "Versace only bathing suits required." It's the only book you'll need for hot springs if you travel on the west coast. It's definately the most thorough one I've come across.

I gave this four stars because most of the book is awesome and we've good experiences with the other additions. My wife and I love to travel to natural hot springs and we bought this after visiting most of the springs in the Northwest US.
We bought this edition just to get some idea of the springs in Texas. There is only one listed though which is pretty inaccurate. Nothing in the Austin area is included but the stuff in Hawaii was right on!

The Potts Hot Springs/Hot Tub is on Private Property and has never been open to the public with out permission. Because of all the people this Hot tub had been pulled. It is No longer there.
