Pah Tempe Hot Springs
I've wanted to go to the springs for years and finally made the trip. The water was wonderful and the surroundings, natural. However, it's three days later and I still cannot get the sulphur stink off my skin, out of my hair, off my swimsuit out of my towels and clothes. The exposed wires over the pools and a couple exposed pipes and boards made me a litle nervous, too, but the stink won't leave, despite the laundering, showering and febreeze I spray all over. I'd even go back, because I felt great afterwards, but only if I could spend a week away from friends, relatives and home and had all disposable towels and sheets, oh and some super-duper soap.
I went here several years ago and it was awesome. The owner was cool to me and my girl friend. They accidently double booked my reservation so to make up for it they gave us a free time block. So we got to go twice......once in the daytime and once late at night under the full moon. The canyon and springs were great. The owner even let us park overnight and sleep in our van that we were road tripping in with no extra charge. If its shut down now that's sucks cause this was a great spot! The cave, river and canyon was perfect!
Updated: I was informed that the hot springs are close and not open to the public! We tried to find the springs on a Friday afternoon around 6pm and followed the gps to a gate that said closed private road???? So we traveled down another backroad and found another road that said spring’s closed!!! We wasted time trying to find it and when we did it was closed 🤨 (no posted hours on google or at the gates! They should be some visible signs of where to go and update the information on google with times! Wish we could of seen it
My family and I used to go there and it was an exquisite place. Felt like a million dollars. Then somebody bought it, and charged a ton to get in. In addition, the county drilled and ruined it further. Why not open it to the public and make a resort?
Why do I love it? 5000 gallons per minute @107 degrees You figure it out Why is it closed you ask? 550,000 lbs a day of salt that it adds to the downstream water supply, including the Colorado river system. Apparently an issue
