“The hot springs pools are at the end of a beautiful and short 1+ mile hike”

Jerry used to be signed as clothing optional, but in 2009 the signage was removed from the trailhead. Nude is still typically the norm here. This place gets packed! All I can really say is if you are going to Jerry don't expect to not see naked people.

This is marked in the wrong place on the map. This is off of route 12 close to the Montana border, as the other reviewer mentions. It's probably very close to the Jerry Johnson RV park, if you look that up. Here's a link to the google map. https://goo.gl/maps/NoGYMUv1QNpJQG1g7

An easy drive through the Clearwater National Forest, a scenic moss-covered trail, and a quaint bridge will lead you to this hot spring near the Montana border. These waterfall pools are some of Idaho's most picturesque natural hot tubs, but after peak snow runoff, can become submerged. Locals recommend the Weir Hot Springs nearby as a backup, but there may or not be a "secret" spring for willing adventure-seekers who don't wish to travel too far.
