So weekdays are best. K. Thanks Wiz!by HBkelandmike - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
My wife and I have done Bowen / Deep Creek a number of times but not in the past 2 or 3 years. Thinking about trip out this weekend. Any thoughts? We're going to pay to park at Bowen. Hike and spend the day, partially clothed, at the springs. Any COVID tips? Any hiking or springs tips since it's been a couple years? Thanks all. Keep up the great work!

It was perfect Friday, overnight Saturday. Less than 25 people at the Springs and the sun / cloud cover made for great hiking and chillaxin. More textiles than not but they were calm and respectful to the natural vibe. The breeze / wind was nice until it wasn't. The trash has the Mrs and I planning day trip back for clean up. It was not overwhelming but it was ubiquitous.by HBkelandmike - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thanks Paul. We're looking at taking Pacific Crest for a bit after we get to the Springs to put some space between us and the crowd if needed. We like to soak up the suns rays all over and don't want to deal with any potential textile issues we've seen on the board. Any suggestions about that rocky area just south of the Springs?by HBkelandmike - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
It's looking like rain this weekend. Should I re think my trip? I was hoping to camp Friday after a day in the sun but soaked departure would suck. Experienced Springers?by HBkelandmike - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
The wife and I are also looking to come out this weekend. Not sure what the crowd will be like on the 4th or 5th. Is camping at Mike's still a good plan for overnight?by HBkelandmike - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
What a great time we had!by HBkelandmike - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Yes! We'll be there Saturday night camping at Bowen.by HBkelandmike - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Wow. Those sounds like reasons NOT to go. Is it still worth the drive and Hike?by HBkelandmike - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
This will be our third time to DCHS but first time in almost two years. We're planning on some clothing free hiking and camping at Mike's place. Are the driving direction still accurate? Any additional insight? For a Saturday - Sunday visit should we expect chaos? I have such fond memories of my first two visits I'd rather not go if it'll be a tire fire, domestic throw down or any of the otheby HBkelandmike - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
