As an occasional springs visitor, thank you very much for the work.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Arrived at the ranch at 945 and the lot was half full. Big RV that had a group doing shots was there. Hiked in and the springs were very nice. Not too crowed and from the info I got most of the loud drunk idiots had either left or were burned out. Lots of cool people there and had some great soaks and conversations. There was a stunning young lady, Mary , who was very cool and fun. Hiked out abouby juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Good report, thanks.....plus you saved 10 dollars by taking the bradford trail. Like you said, for me I do prefer the ranch because the free hike is much better from there.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Arrived at the ranch about 1130 and all at the ranch seemed in good spirits. With all the cars that were parked there I know why, the ranch guy is making a ton of tax free cash of this deal!!!! Seriously , sure there are dummies he has to deal with, but please, he is making a killing off his parking lot. There should be a paved road down with flowers along the side with the money he is making. Anby juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Really good report. My one bit of advise, is that in the future you probably don't want to give any stranger a ride that has an ax with him.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
make sure to give a reportby juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I went last Saturday and just paid my 5 dollars at the ranch. No one was at the entrance. The ranch , the nude hike, the weather, the springs were wonderful. There were a drunk a/hole at the springs who was rude to me for being nude. He tried to intimidate me when I was leaving, but I simply told him to f off and get his drunk ass out of my way ,so I could hike out. I think he must have been jeaby juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Been going for many years and have never had a problem with MIke or the lovely lady, Sycamore, who watches the entrance when he is not there.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Arrived at the ranch about 10, parking lot was not very full. A couple arrived soon after and we met in the lot. It was their first time and they asked if they could hike in with me. I said sure and we all free hiked in. Nice hot day, perfect to be nude. They were from Maryland and had just recently moved to the Agoura Hills area. Very cool couple, and I must say the women was beautiful. We 3 speby juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
What do they call the area at the bottom of the ranch hill where I always seem to see a few cars parked? It is right near where you go through the fence. Every time I hike out I look a those cars and then look up atthe last hill to the ranch and wish I was parked there. Especially when it is 95 out. Thanks for any answers in advance.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I was there on Saturday and hiked out about 2. Saw the helicopter fly in while hiking out. Saw the firetruck arrive at the ranch at the same time I was leaving. While driving on the dirt road the ambulance almost ran me off the road! It was 95 at the ranch parking lot when I first got back to my car. The springs was cool, mostly young and in swimsuits, and I may have been the only nude. Passed aby juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Good info, pretty aggressive behavior by the bee....by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
From what I saw it was fine. I am sure Wednesday am may be different. I hope not.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Arrived at the ranch at about 10am, as I was approaching the lot the first car had the official nude greeter. He seemed to be welcoming all cars as they approached. He was cool, but I hoped he had used a lot of sunscreen because he was optic white. The lot was pretty full and I was lucky enough to pull into a spot next to 2 lovely ladies who where getting ready for the hike down. They were very fby juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Sad report, the trash and idiots are stunning. Yeah, when it is hot drink lots of water, take it easy on the drugs and take your trash out. I may be be going this weekend and will do a report after.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I have a Jeep, but once made the drive in a rental car that was a Versa. Not too many cars smaller that that and it made it fine, Key point, drive slow. Enjoy your first nude hike and I am sure you will have a great time. Amazing place.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I come from LA and I can tell you one thing for sure. If you are going in the Bowen Ranch route your main drama will be the 15. Avoid this on Friday afternoon going up and Sunday afternoon going down. These are the 2 worse times to travel that stretch because you will be with the Vegas/ River people going away for the weekend. good luck.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I agree, I also come from LA and when I go it is usually on a Saturday. I love getting nude first thing after I park and always go nude the whole day. I have never really had any problem with anyone over it, and even have had a complement or 2, which was a definite turn on. There was one time where an idiot was making a fire near the springs and was with a small group, mostly girls with him. Theyby juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Blacks is better because it is such a beautiful beach and area, but for me it depends on the weather. When I go to the springs it is usually on Saturday and I do go nude. I have never had a problem and most all of the people are cool, nude or bathing suit.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Good report, how high is the water level on the steam crossing? above the waist?by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
the only way to hike in from the ranch is nude, in my opinion. such a cool feeling, unless it is too cold and windy, then it sucks.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Arrived at the Bowen at 10 and hiked in nude. Met a couple of ladies leaving that asked me if they could take a pic with me, sure why not, they were pretty hot. Mellow crowd, not too busy and overall a perfect day. Weather was perfect and the wind was blowing north, which is perfect for the hike out. Met some fun couples, one was from Arcadia, and the very hot lady was enjoying teasing her friendby juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
they sell the Arrowhead brand in our area and are a huge water company.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
dogs are fine, but should be on a leash and kept out of the hot tubs.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Since I can not handle all the pre- super bowl baloney and the weather report had it topping off at 70, I decided it would be fun to go for a hike. Arrived at the ranch at about 10 already nude, ( I strip down at the beginning of the dirt road and drive in with only shoes on). It was still a bit chilly, so I hiked in with a beanie to keep in the heat and it was perfect. Good size group was hikinby juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I went yesterday and thought the new wall was fine. Hung out with a nice group in the pool below the wall, especially the beautiful young lady from South Gate, and had a fun time. It does make it harder to climb up to the other pool, but that has always been hard to do. Nice day,mellow crowd and great weather.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
I am from the LA area and just want to thank anyone and everyone and especially this group ( very cool) who maintains and helps clean this wonderful place. Anyone who leaves trash or who does not respect nature or any outdoor area or trail is a complete moron. Besides my love of a good nude hike and time at the springs I am a mountian bikers who sees the stupididity of which I feel is mostly younby juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Arrived at the ranch at about 10, had to follow in a slow moving group of 4 cars the last mile or so. They were all very nice but had a hard time figuring out how to pay and had questions for the nice lady at the house. I was getting impatiant as I sometimes do to get naked, so I decided to just do it while in line and it calmed me down. First time naked at the ranch house. Actually had a great tby juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Good report...I agree the lady is nice and the guy is just a moody dude, but I have never had a problem with him. Hope what you said about the road being worked on is true!by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Good point , for the money they make on parking you think there would be some concern for the part of the road on their property. The last drop/ turn sucks even in my Jeep, so a little work to move some rocks and smooth it out would be nice.by juliankaye - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
