The two Caliente Hot Springs sound wonderful Sam! But I don't think Frank, Sycamore nor I will be visiting either of the Caliente Hot Springs any time in the near or distance future for the following reasons:
The road gets really bad.
We need an Adventure Pass.
The Price of the Adventure will increase.
Stuck Vehicles.
A ranger that who can't to close the gate when it rains.
Lower pools have 1-foot of dead algae, mud, leaves and sand in them.
The water feels oily.
Screaming children at the pools.
Children peeing in the pools while their parents cheer them on.
People soaking in pools in their own urine.
2 scolding hot pools requiring major cleaning.
I guess we'll wait for Deep Creek to reopen. See you at Deep Creek.
