Clear Creek Hot Springs

Very beautiful and atmospheric place, definitely worth visiting. The trail leading toward this area is incredibly scenic — mountains, forest, river views, and great landscapes along the way. The drive itself is already an experience. ⚠️ Season matters a lot. We visited during snowmelt season, and the climb up the mountain was nearly impossible: • no vehicles made it up — not regular cars, not even 4x4s • the road turned into deep slush and mud • in some sections we had to drive directly along the riverbed • even on a motorcycle there was zero traction, just constant wheel spin Because of this, we couldn’t reach the hot springs themselves. This wasn’t the fault of the location — just bad timing and conditions. 👍 Good alternative if you can’t make the climb: If you can’t get up to the springs, the trip is still worth it. You can continue straight instead of going uphill: • there’s a large canyon • abandoned industrial structures • a dam about 15–20 km further along the route • plenty of amazing photo spots and scenery Final thoughts: An absolutely beautiful area and highly recommended, but best visited during a dry season. Be prepared for a very challenging climb depending on conditions. Even if you can’t reach the springs, the surrounding area alone makes the trip worthwhile.

For beauty and nature, 10/10. There are about 6 "camping sites" here but others creatively made. The hot springs tend to stay hot even when snow is around. Only heavy rains appear to cool these tubs slightly. The hottest pool is hotter than any of the pools at the Harrison Hotsprings Resort so it's worth that for the journey alone. The only advice I'd like to share to everyone that sees this is to please be thoughtful when it comes to shitting in the woods. There are many instances of finding shit down any trail or even right in the campsites. It only takes putting some rocks on it at worst or burying it. Anyone that brings a dog up there is sure to discover them snacking on the many woodland treats present, so be aware when they lie in your bed or kiss your face.

What an amazing place. I almost missed it. It's to the right of some creekside camp spots. There is no sign to say you are there. It was beautiful and quiet. Didn't see much in the way of trash, which was nice to see. The drive, however.... you need to be a confident driver. It's a service road, so no cars and, at the very least, an SUV. I went up in a Jeep compass, which at times felt sketchy, but to be fair, im not an experienced 4x4 driver. Make sure you have good ground clearance. I'd highly recommend a truck. It took a bit longer than expected to get there, but that was due to the rough road conditions. Still made it up and back in one day. I would definitely recommend going.

Such a great opportunity for me to see this beautiful, relaxing area with my friends as No way to reach this area without a high ground clearance 4x4 with steep approach and exit angles. ** please pick up your garbage and pack up with yourself as there is no garbage pick up here! As we got there , we have to clean up lots of cans, bottles, left over food and diapers! Its about 40 km gravel road and about 5-7 km which needs a high clearance 4WD. If you are driving with no back up , be aware that there is no signal if you need any help. As l saw 2 families came with kids, l thought it can be helpful to give people a heads up before planning to get here with family alone.

Amazing wild hot spring. The road condition is really bad. Don't even try without a high clearance car. Just a reference that I took my Outback and still got scratches on my front bumper. Day trip is also too short consider how much effort to get there. It will be really nice to soak in with stars and water and forest sounds. As per mentioned in previous reviews, people really need to pay more respect to the nature. A lot of beer cans, garbages. The wooden bin smells a bit of urine too. Not cool.
