primitive.keough hot springs

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 all around this Bishop region. Explore dry desert dirt roads on the east or west side of Hwy. 395 & just make sure you are not camping on private property. Or head up in elevation to an alpine lake!

    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 W outta Bishop will lead to Lake Sabrina or Buttermilks rockclimbing area.

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