North of Big
Pine
8.5 mi. South of Bishop;
just off Hwy. 395
Take Keough Hot Spr. Rd. up until the second dirt road, turn
right & hot springs run-off will be on the left, just beyond
the cold stream crossing
Several pools on the bare eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada
Mountains overlooking the high desert
For a more natural feel, ignore the small
resort at the top of the paved road & visit this free area instead.

a.k.a. "the Ditch" or "Keough Hot Ditch"

Posted: No overnight camping allowed at these
hot springs!
Plenty great camping nearby:
For campsite with cooler temps, elevation, pine trees & creeks:
Head for the Glacier Lodge Rd - #9S21 west outta Big Pine
or try Coyote Flat, a super high elevation plateau that overlooks Bishop.
Also Hwy. 168 due west outta Bishop will lead to Lake Sabrina or Buttermilks area.

My college buddy from San Diego, Ted showed me my first California hot springs ever... way back in 1990. I was hooked!
