This is an easy popular hike. Takes about 10 minutes to get to the parking area which is located just past Camp Seely. The trail follows a small creek. The rock can be easy to miss so its not a bad idea to ask other hikers as you go.

This will take a whole day but is worth it if you can spare the time. Its about an hour drive to the parking area which is at The Bowen Ranch down the back side of the mountain. Then a scenic 50 minute moderate hike through the desert to deep creek. You will need to cross the waist deep freezing cold water to get to the hot springs. Bring lots of water and sunscreen for this one.
