Scenic Hot Springs is hosting a private event this coming Monday, June 25th, 2012.  Accordingly, the hot springs will be closed to all other access.  Please respect the enjoyment and privacy of this group.

Scenic Hot Springs is Available for Requests once more

Thanks in large part to the efforts of volunteers who lugged hundreds of pounds of fine sand up the steep trail to the springs, repairs to the spring sources appear to be holding and actually working better than we expected.  As of yesterday (Friday), the Bear Den sources are running at 107.9F at the pool inlet, with a slightly increased flow.  Taking the pool temperature on the corner furthest

Coco Goes to Heaven

I lost my beloved puppy, Coco this last Tuesday and it has hit me particularly hard.  In memory . . . and to ease my grief I'd like to share this photo album of Coco's memories and of his last moments in the clinic.  There is meditative music with the full album here.  Or you can view the album less the music here.
