Here are the details:<\/p>\n<p>Length: Two miles one way \/ four miles return<\/p>\n<p>Elevation: 1350 feet gained \/ 411 metres<\/p>\n<p>The turnoff is close to mile marker 282 on highway 93, South of Salmon, Idaho and north of Challis, Idaho. Follow a short dirt road heading East that ends at the trailhead. You&#8217;ll come across wooden fences and a sign indicating you are in the right location.<\/p>\n<p>There are restrooms (outhouses) just a short wander past the trailhead sign. (Consider putting your bathing suit on under your hiking clothes to make changing a breeze once you arrive at the hot springs)<\/p>\n<p>Note: You will see homes along the dirt road and trailhead &#8211; don&#8217;t let this confuse or deter you; you&#8217;re in the right location!<\/p>\n<p>What to Expect: The well-travelled hiking trail up to Goldbug Hot Springs is easy to follow. If you look up towards the mountain range, find the &#8220;V&#8221; shape cut into the ridge &#8211; the pools are located close to the point of the &#8220;V&#8221;, and you can use this location as motivation during your hike!<\/p>\n<p>The first section of the hike is private property, and but you are welcome to traverse it. After you pass a gate, you&#8217;ll be hiking on national forest land. The hike begins on the side of a hill and quickly switchbacks up and over, and then drops down to land that resembles desert.<\/p>\n<p>It climbs steadily for the first 10 minutes, then remains mostly flat for the next 20 minutes or so, and finally begins to climb much more steeply as you arrive closer to the waterfalls and hot spring pools. After you pass this flat land, you&#8217;ll wander through trees, and the elevation will begin again.<\/p>\n<p>Near the end of the hike, you will start climbing up rock boulders and, eventually, over wooden box steps just before you reach the hot springs. In this area, watch to your left and admire the mossy, waterfall-covered oasis. Once you are past this section, the last leg of the hike takes you over the box steps and to a small wooden bridge. Get ready to feast your eyes on the beautiful hot springs, and the water that cascades over the cliffs and creates 15-foot waterfalls. There are multiple pools for you to explore! The further away you go from the top pool, the cooler the water will be.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6111 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-3-blog.jpg\" alt=\"Goldbug Hot Springs in Idaho\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-3-blog.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-3-blog-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-3-blog-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-3-blog-819x1024.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6119 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-6-blog.jpg\" alt=\"Goldbug Hot Springs in Idaho\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-6-blog.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-6-blog-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-6-blog-768x1150.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-6-blog-684x1024.jpg 684w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Geography of Idaho\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3500 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/divider-2-1024x28.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/divider-2-1024x28.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/divider-2-300x8.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/divider-2-768x21.png 768w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/divider-2-600x16.png 600w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/divider-2.png 1073w\" alt=\"Geography of Idaho\" width=\"1024\" height=\"28\" \/><br \/>\nWhen is the best time to visit Goldbug Hot Springs?<\/p>\n<p>Summer: Temperatures in the summer may climb into the high 80&#8217;s and the climate then is very dry; pack extra water if you&#8217;re visiting in the summer! This is likely also the time the springs receive the most foot traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Winter: In the winter, temperatures can dip into the single digits or below. However, the heavy snowpack is the concern. Due to Goldbug&#8217;s high elevation, the snow can become a major burden and may stop many people from hiking. Come prepared with winter gear if you&#8217;re attempting to visit Goldbug in the winter months. We brought snowshoes with us during our December 2019 visit, but found we didn&#8217;t need to use them as the trail was well packed down. However, ice cleats definitely helped, especially on the way down!<\/p>\n<p>Spring: The spring is an appealing time to visit Goldbug, with near perfect weather. However, the melting snow can make the trail muddy and slippery. The water is at its highest level in the spring, and also cooler, due to the meltwater.<\/p>\n<p>Autumn: Autumn is truly an ideal time to visit Goldbug Hot Springs. The weather is great for hiking, and the hot springs are a perfect temperature for soaking in.

Thank you for continuing to read and educating yourself on these important principles!<\/p>\n<p>Hot Spring Etiquette:<\/p>\n<p>Follow <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leavenotrace.ca\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leave No Trace<\/a> Principles:&nbsp; you can find out more about them <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leavenotrace.ca\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<br \/>\nRespect Nudity: Plenty of backcountry hot springs are clothing-optional. Research this before you go and follow the rules accordingly. Be respectful of those who do decide to bathe nude.<br \/>\nDo Not Bathe: Natural hot springs are both your own personal bathtub. If possible, bathe or shower before entering any geothermal pools to reduce the spread of bacteria. Soaps and shampoos are now allowed in or near hot springs, to do your bathing elsewhere.<br \/>\nTake Turns: Natural hot springs are usually smaller pools of water and can get congested with people quite easily. Be respectful of others who are sharing this experience with you. A good rule of thumb is to feel comfortable asking others when they anticipate their turn to be done, if there is limited room remaining in a hot spring. Be patient and wait your turn.<br \/>\nTest The Water: Always test the water before hopping in to make sure it isn&#8217;t scalding. Remember, this is a natural hot pool and the temperature is not regulated like a man-made pool.<br \/>\nNo Camping: In the backcountry,&nbsp; do not set up camp right next to a pool and claim it as your own. Rule of thumb is that you should try to set up camp at least 200 yards away. Check the rules of each hot spring location to ensure that camping is allowed.<br \/>\nDogs Are Not Allowed: Hot springs are usually too hot for dogs, and not especially healthy for them to drink from. Many strangers will also not appreciate bathing in the same pool as your pup. Each hot springs has its own particular rules, but consider leaving the pooches at home for these trips!<br \/>\nDrink Plenty of Water: Hot springs can induce heat stroke or fainting spells in those who are dehydrated, especially the hottest springs. Always carry and drink lots of water when enjoying hot springs. If you begin to feel lightheaded or too hot, listen to your body and take a break<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6110 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-2-blog.jpg\" alt=\"Goldbug Hot Springs in Idaho\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-2-blog.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-2-blog-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-2-blog-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Goldbug-2-blog-819x1024.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Geography of Idaho\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3500 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/divider-2-1024x28.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/divider-2-1024x28.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/divider-2-300x8.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/divider-2-768x21.png 768w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/divider-2-600x16.png 600w, https:\/\/www.jennexplores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/divider-2.png 1073w\" alt=\"Geography of Idaho\" width=\"1024\" height=\"28\" \/><br \/>\nWhat To Bring to Natural Hot Springs:<br \/>\nBACKPACK:<\/p>\n<p>Bring one with plenty of room to stash towels, change of clothes, water, food, camera, the rest of your gear, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I HIGHLY RECOMMEND:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2w4sPlp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Osprey Packs Ariel AG 55L Backpack<\/a>&nbsp;&ndash;
