The hot pools were pretty small and most of them were too hot, but there was one pool just above where the main super hot water joined the cool water. It just had a few smaller hot water sources flowing in and it was very nice. Probably 90-95F. As the creek flows down passed all the hot sources eventually it starts to slowly cool. So the lower part of the creek had a few real nice little pools in the creek that were also at a good temp. I didn't see anyone on this hike until the very last mile on the road where I ran into a few guys that were trying to hunt for quail. Thanks for the support! I enjoy following you and I appreciate what your doing.
