Mojave, Goldstrike is one of our favorites. We went there a month or two ago. How far down did you hike? From what I recall ,the first pools are about 45 min- 1 hour down the trail. The better pools are further down the canyon. The "Cave of Wonder" hot pool is one of our favorites, The climb down to the river and the lower pools (sometimes called Nevada Hot Springs) can be challenging with some more rope rapelling to do, but well worth it. Then at the bottom is a lot more hot water and the sauna cave.Did you take any pics?
