WILD SPRING SAFETY
Wild hot springs are geothermal features — water can exceed 200°F and cause fatal burns.
Always test water with your hand before entering. Stay on designated paths, never soak alone in remote areas,
and tell someone your plans. Conditions change seasonally; verify access before departure.
