Nearby springs
Mystic Hot Springs
A hillside hot springs retreat in Monroe on the old Cooper homestead, where 165°F spring water cools as it runs down to two 20-foot pools and five cast-iron tubs. Soaking is by reserved 2-hour slot shared with others booked at the same time. Overnight guests stay in a pioneer cabin, converted buses, tent sites or RV sites.
Baker Hot Springs
Three small concrete tubs in Utah's West Desert northwest of Delta, fed by springs at Fumarole Butte that emerge at about 180°F. Visitors mix in cold water through PVC pipes to set the temperature, and each tub fits only a few people. It is free.
Gandy Warm Springs
A large warm spring, about 81°F, pouring nearly 9,000 gallons a minute out of the base of Spring Mountain in Snake Valley near the Nevada line. Visit Utah describes a lower pool that fits about a dozen people, with a small cave under a waterfall, and a more private upper pool about 50 feet up the hill. The site is on BLM land with no facilities, and the nearest services are about 30 miles away.
