Might be the very best hot springs in all of Idaho! There's a large parking area right off Highway 21. Cross the bridge and turn right to get down to the pools. You'll want to walk around a bit to find the best one, since they vary in size and temperature.

But don't miss out on the hot waterfall down by the river!

This place was so cool! The hike down to the pools was a little tricky but very worth it.

Besides cougar hot springs outside of McKenzie Bridge in Oregon, this is hands down the best natural hot spring I've been to. Slept in the parking lot in the van though not ideal because there's some traffic on the road. People visiting well into the night, despite the rural location and hardcore drive (in the snow). Free as far as I could tell in the cold months.
