Good to know. Winter conditions can be severe; carry chains and a snow shovel. Bears are active, so store food in lockers.

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.

Good for: families, first-timers, winter trip. Something out of date? Let us know and we’ll check it.

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.
