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.
