A travertine soaking tub on a bare rock face about 150 feet above the North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River, reached by a steep 0.3-mile trail. Water seeps from an active fault at 100 to 115°F, and an open-air roof shelters the tub. The Umpqua National Forest manages it as a day-use-only fee site and warns of high use and nudity.
