primitive.mono hot springs

Sierra hot springsApprox. 15 mi. NE of Huntington Lake off Kaiser Pass Rd. & Hwy. 168

Two squared cement tubs overlooking the river, deep in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

The coolest thing about this primitive hot springs is that it is a great destination for a one day snowmobile adventure. Rentals are in the nearby community of Lakeshore & the plowed paths are fairly easy to follow. If you plan on visiting the springs, you must not play around in the meadow much, there is plenty great Sierra scenery to be had. The trip a good 4-5 hours round trip with a lunch break & dip at mineral spring tubs.

Take Hwy.168, turn right on Kaiser Pass Rd, just past the Sierra Summit Ski Resort. Pass the large meadow & follow signs to Mono Springs & Lake Edision. Make sure not to miss the left turn or you may end up at Florence Lake. Park near teh bridge over the San Joaquin River & walk over to the tubs on the hillsides.

For a additional services, there is a small resort at the top ridge of the road. See large photo at bottom of this page.
