<title>Single woman</title>
<description> I have not looked through all the topic's here and am new on the site. I have a question. How safe do you think it is for a woman to visit DCHP alone? I live extremely close. Have wanted to go, but do not know anyone who is willing to go with me. I miss the hot springs just outside of Las Vegas NM and to live less then 5 miles away from DCHP and not go would be a crime.</description><link>https://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/read.php?1,19718,19718#msg-19718</link><lastBuildDate>Sun, 19 Apr 2026 08:12:45 -0700</lastBuildDate>

In all honesty the local guys want to have single women around enough to protect the few that venture there. Most of them are very polite and helpful.]]></description>

<title>Re: Single woman</title><link>https://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/read.php?1,19718,19738#msg-19738</link><description><![CDATA[ I go once a week and yes I meet girls there traveling but mostly with another girl, or friend.<br />As far as anybody being harassed by drunk pervs on the rocks i have never seen it, and if I saw a girl being harassed I would tell him to mellow out and give the girl(s) some space.<br />So anybody that is taking pics of guys to post on the internet that is a big no-no.<br />No pics allowed unless you get permission.<br />Now as far as ogling goes, I am sure that a few may glance a little too long, so if you ever get uncomfortable move to another part of the springs, or tell Kevin at Bowen Ranch that you felt hassled and they will be 86'd.<br />kg]]></description>

There are too many weirdos, pervs, drunken druggies and Megans Law offenders down there. Plus many other things can happen in the area...like a rattlesnake bite and getting lost. For your own safety, dont go alone. I have been raised in these mountains and heard too many sad stories. Like a local man's daughter getting molested behind some rocks at DCHS.]]></description>

<title>Re: Single woman</title><link>https://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/read.php?1,19718,19730#msg-19730</link><description><![CDATA[ Another suggestion (and this goes for the oogling pervs that hang out on the rocks as well): Take their pictures with your camera phone and post the pics here and everywhere else you can think of. The mere possibility that their wives, girlfriends, neighbors and/or co-workers might see the pics of these guys in their full shameful perv mode might be enough to deter them from DCHS.]]></description>

<title>Re: Single woman</title><link>https://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/read.php?1,19718,19727#msg-19727</link><description><![CDATA[ Having gone to Deep Creek almost as long as Celtfire Bill, I tend to agree with him. My wife has gone many times with just one girlfriend and they have never been bothered. But she would never go alone. I have witnessed drunk out of control guys sexually harassing single women, so it can happen. And keep in mind that even if you go alone, most likely there will be other people at the springs anyway who you could turn to in the event someone bothers you. I think if you simply are aware of your surroundings and exercise the usual caution, you should be fine. I don't think you mentioned whether you prefer to go nude at the springs or go textile, but mostly likely you will get more &quot;attention&quot; from potential troublemakers if you are nude vs, wearing a bathing suit.]]></description>

<title>Re: Single woman</title><link>https://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/read.php?1,19718,19725#msg-19725</link><description><![CDATA[ I would like to thank everyone for responding to my question. I spent the weekend reading past post. I am on older woman and have seen my share of the darker side of human nature. I believe it really comes down to how one carries themselves and staying 'awake&quot;. As I said I have asked a lot of locals about the springs and I get the usual answers.....past history...etc. The one that always makes me smile is &quot;oh a bunch of naked hippie/crazy people go there. I am going to go through Bowens ranch the first time because I believe it will be the more traveled path. Once I get a lay of the land and I hope to meet more of my tribe there I will get a better idea on how to do the freedom trail. I have another question...I see the word textilles used to discribe a certain type of person. What does the word really mean to you and how did it originate?]]></description>

<title>Re: Single woman</title><link>https://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/read.php?1,19718,19724#msg-19724</link><description><![CDATA[ You have much longer experience at DCHS than most of us, Celfire, but I have never witnessed any problems with or for single woman visitors to the springs. A bad apple at the springs can happen anytime, but thankfully is rare at least on weekdays--I'm talking about rowdy drunken male (and female) visitors. And they can threaten men or women of course--surely I have not enjoyed some of my run-ins down there with drunken guys. But it is rare and usually something you can avoid. On almost all of my trips to the springs this year, there was at least one if not more single woman visitors. Sometimes these women would hang out together, and talking to them, I learned that they had come on their own and just started hanging out together once they realized they had both traveled to the springs on their own. As I often do with other people that I meet when I come to the springs on my own, without my wife or my friends. I'm just trying to say: sure, if you can come with friends, come with friends, but mostly the springs are a peaceful and safe--and respectful--environment. And the regulars like those of us posting here also work to keep it that way.]]></description>

<title>Re: Single woman</title><link>https://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/read.php?1,19718,19723#msg-19723</link><description><![CDATA[ I hate to be the one to throw the sour apple into the mix, but my experience over many years of hiking to the springs tells me that single women can be at risk. A young woman who was part of a 7 person group I organized the first time she visited the springs told me that she wanted to spend a day and night there by herself. I told her I believed it was a dangerous idea, but she went ahead with her solitary trip and was almost raped by an aggressive horn-dog during the day. The assailant backed off when she called for help and a man and woman intervened. My young friend never returned to the hot springs. When I sometimes organized groups of men and women for day trips to the springs, I learned to make sure that there were never more women than men, because single guys would hang around trying to entice the extra woman to go with them.]]></description>

<title>Re: Single woman</title><link>https://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/read.php?1,19718,19720#msg-19720</link><description><![CDATA[ It is probably very safe from anyone harming you, although some guys might try to hit on you or one or two might oogle you bothersomely. I have always visited with women, and they are generally left alone, even when they were in a pool without me, but that was only for limited periods of time, so I don't know. You might want to check out my posting &quot;magnificant trip&quot; from this past June, for a description of the place and a trip I had with a female friend recently.]]></description>
