So cool. I've really been wanting to explore Idaho more, I feel like it gets overlooked in the US but has so many hidden gems like these hot springs I'd never heard of before this video!
Nix the stupid music. I used to hot springs around. Now there is just too many people. I've got great vhs tapes all losing their color. It's hard to get fully immersed in the experience when your shooting.
I've found that trails to hot springs are packed down, so snowshoes aren't required. But traction (yaktrax, microspikes, etc.) are highly recommended. There are more springs which don't see much action and can be clothing optional. Thus a solution to the wet bathing suit conundrum.
Idaho is awesome. I never thought of Idaho as a hot spring location before watching this. I really enjoyed this video. Great people, great places, hot water, cold ice and wonderful music 🎶. SOLD
I love it! We did a family trip out to Idaho for the solar eclipse in 2017, and on the day of the eclipse we hit up Goldbug Hot Springs in the afternoon. It is collectively referred to by myself, wife and son as one of the best days ever. Can't wait to get back. Which one was your fave?
Yeah Stanley is frequently the coldest town in the US with many days in the negatives. Fun tour of Idaho hot springs! I’ve been to most of those but not to goldbug. Idaho is rich is geothermal activity so there are a lot of them to explore.
Our last family trip began at Hot Creek Canyon on 1972, when you could spend all night in the Hot Springs. I was 12, so I got out about 1:00. In that canyon by moonlight, it’s hard to describe. It rumbled, the water tumbled, it was pure magic.
@@Bemytravelmuse i went there when the air temp was 100+ degrees for my first time and it was awesome. The cold stream along the hike provided a great way to stay cool when getting up there, the 75 degree small pools with the waterfalls below the hot pools were an amazing place to relax while the sun went down and I could get into the warmer pools. I never would have thought id go to a hot spring to cool off. :)
In your opinion... what natural hot spring (not in jacuzzi) in the Idaho area was easy to get to (no hiking). My friend and I want to go there but are not used to hiking/ would prefer not to have to go far from the car lol. Any advice would be helpful so we can figure out where we want to stay in Idaho. ♡ also what time of the year did you two go? We would like it to be cold/snowing.
Fantastic video... Hot springing is wonderful and may I suggest a romantic slow dance as the water warms you up could be good. Which were your favorite?
& this is how these places get exploited & no longer clean & sacred. The reason why you got mixed signals from Idaho City is they don't want this to get out to the world. Now I know why I'm picking up more trash. Videos like this have thousands of views. Bringing anyone and everyone over. Wish this stayed in books and not a Google search.
I hear you, and it's tricky, but nature is for everyone and I'm sharing springs in state parks, none of which are necessarily a secret. When I find one that's truly wild and in the middle of nowhere, I don't share. The world population has exploded since we were younger and all these natural places were secret, but people have kids, towns and cities grow, and information is more readily shared, whether by me or any source, and I do my best to educate people to leave no trace in what I share, so I stand by it.
Well I hear you garren....everybody has a camera these days and a need to share. Though I could do it I just don't. That's where "sacred" comes in. The old days before smart phones were so much better.
You should check out Vulcan hot spring next time near Cascade. Its hard to find the trail off the forest road, but its only about half a mile long. Its too bad Molly's tubs near there got taken out.
@@Bemytravelmuse if you drive up the Warm Springs Guard Station Road to the end of the air strip it cuts the distance in half, but it's still a shorter hike than Goldbug.
David is speaking the truth, we have many lions and tigers and bears that love to dine on out-of-towners, so for your own safety stay away, buy a jacuzzi instead!
