Hot springs in California
46 places to soak in California, from resorts with day passes to natural pools. Each one has the water temperature, how to get there, the cost, and whether children can come.
In any natural hot spring, keep your head above the water. Health officials advise it because of a rare amoeba that can enter through the nose.

No hot spring nearby?
Warm-water sessions at your own pool, or your community’s, in and around Flagstaff, by request. And there are small water practices you can do at home, in a bath.
