Personally I would stick with the Bradford Ridge trail. The difference between the hikes is really not that great, there is no fee, and it will be less crowded. I would definitely bring them! Don't let the negativity here discourage you. There will most likely be some nudity and drug addicts but the hot springs is one of the most amazing places in the world that everyone should have a chance tby DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
3N39 is no longer an open road and gated off.by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
His bike is a street bike and he said he doesn't want to go off pavement. Why would you guys keep jumping his case about dirt bikes at the springs? Learn to read folks. SMH! banana_crazyp: The Bradford ridge trail would be your best bet as it is paved all the way to the trail head, the other routes require a lot of dirt road to just get to the trail head and you had said you don't want to ridby DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
My 2 month old baby David on his first Deep Creek Hot Springs adventure. He is 4 months now and pretty much a regular.by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I noticed this when I went to your site this morning and was super bummed that I am gonna have to log in every time I want to see your awesome pics.by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I would guess that the rash associated with the contemplation pool is from poison oak. It is all over the place right around there.by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thank you for the good report Juliankaye, and good time up the hill, I care and appreciate you sharing your experienceby DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Kind of like how speakeasy's constant negative attitude in almost every thread ruins this forum for some people.by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
LVDG512, no offense but the only thing you are cluing us in on is the way women with serious self image issues think. My wife and daughters are women and they most definitely do not think this way, nor do most of the woman I associate with.by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thank you for sharing!by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Ok I vote best thread ever! Thanks for the awesome history and stories.by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thanks for the great info in this and other threads guys, I haven't been yet. I seriously can't wait to get to Black's and Pirate's Cove.by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Well I agree with outlaw1 and 1+2usin hotwater. And the damage inflicted on society by drug addicts has much more of a negative impact than a six inch rut in the wall of a thousand foot deep canyon. It's all opinion but the fact is both are illegal. You can't have your intolerance and not eat it too!by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Not accessible. There are gates at the top and bottom of the dirt stretch of 173. Sucks because when it was open it took me about 20 minutes to get to the Bradford Ridge trail head from my house.by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Wow! Awesome, thanks for sharing!by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Dude, you're the man! Set a weekend date for the cleanup and I will get work off to be there.by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Quotemxa True, however I believe his point was what if someone took the picture unwarranted and posted it online - and how one would feel about that. Agreed, it just seems everyone in those pics was clearly aware they were being photographed and I just found it absolutely silly to refer to it as a jerk off site. I see nothing wrong with the site. For example, I have no problem with my littleby DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Well all I know is, that is not the type of site I would "jerk off" too. I thought you might be onto something with the captions because I hadn't noticed them when I first clicked on it. I must be going to the wrong site because I do not find words like beauty, cliff jumper, fun in the sun, lower pools, or panorama disrespectful. The only ONE, not some, that I figure you could be refby DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Can someone explain to me how the posted link is a jerk off site? It seems like a totally legit and respectful nudist blog to me. Am I missing something?by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
WOW! You guys really are something! I have no idea who this guy is but all he was doing was asking if someone could help him out. He never said anything about camping. You guys have no idea what his situation is, maybe he is disabled or older and just wants to enjoy the hot springs but needs help. Way to make someone feel welcome to the forum and hot springs. Sorry Stuart, if I didn't haveby DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
What's with all the clothes? Obviously they don't know how to enjoy deep creek, plus it would have made the music video much more entertaining.by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Holy cow! What an adventure!by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thanks for the info and hope to meet you out there some day.by DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Hello, my name is David and I'm new here. I live in Hesperia and have been to the hot springs a handful of times now. I am so hooked and would be there every weekend if possible. I have a question for the "regulars". Continuing through the freedom trail parking lot on the road, about half way between the freedom trail parking and the parking where the road crosses the main trail leaby DLM - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
