This iron-rich hot spring lies along the shores of Lake Mohave in the Nevada desert. Its water, naturally warmed to around 38 °C, owes its characteristic tint to a high iron content, a feature shared by several remote springs in this arid region.
Insider tip — The hot springs along the Colorado River shores of Lake Mohave in the Nevada-Arizona border wilderness are among the most dramatically sited thermal pools in the American Southwest — iron-rich water seeping from volcanic canyon walls directly into the river corridor. Lake Mohave, formed by Davis Dam, creates a 67-mile desert reservoir where these remote riverside springs can only be reached by boat or demanding desert hike through the Mojave canyon country.
