Insider tip — In remote Alpine County — one of California's smallest and least populated counties — these undeveloped hot springs bubble up beside the East Fork Carson River in the eastern Sierra Nevada. A riverside hike through sagebrush and granite leads to natural pools where you can alternate between soaking in geothermal water and cooling off in the crystal-clear Sierra snowmelt river. Best visited in late spring or autumn; avoid summer high water and winter snow closures on Monitor Pass Road.
