Red Hill Hot Springs lies near Beaver, Utah, on the high desert plateaus of the American West. Its iron-rich water warms to around 38°C, with an indoor bath and an outdoor rotenburo-style bath available.
Insider tip — Red Hill Hot Springs near Beaver in central Utah emerges from the basin-and-range geology of the Great Basin Desert, where iron-rich geothermal waters have coloured the surrounding rock formations with vivid ochre deposits. The remote desert setting under vast open skies makes this one of Utah's most visually striking thermal experiences, especially at night when the Milky Way is undimmed by light pollution. The spring is primitive with minimal infrastructure, so bring your own supplies and leave no trace. Water temperatures are comfortable for extended soaking, typically around 38°C in the main pool.
