The Waymark coordinates are for the actual soaking pool.  The actual hot springs are located about a tenth of mile to the West.  The hot steaming spring water is piped across a field via a large six inch pipe to the soaking pool, which is cooled with water from the nearby Salmon River.  The pool is drained once a week (usually Monday), and as a consequence, is extremely clean.

 

 

 


 

From the Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch website:


The Ranch location was chosen in the 1920s largely because of an active natural hot springs which could be fed directly into a swimming pool, providing a soothing, "therapeutic" swim and soak experience. Today, this authentic natural hot spring-fed pool is as it was when it was originally built. The swimming pool, with decking area and lounge chairs, is a perfect place to pass the many sunny afternoons at the Ranch, or refresh after an invigorating hike or bike.
