Travertine Hot Springs is a group of natural geothermal mineral springs located in the high desert near Bridgeport in Mono County, California. The springs produce calcium-rich waters that have deposited layered travertine formations around the pools over thousands of years, creating a striking natural landscape. Several pools of varying temperatures, accessible on public Bureau of Land Management land, offer an unspoiled soaking experience beneath the vast Sierra Nevada sky. The site is particularly beloved by hikers and road-trippers for its raw, primitive character, with the snow-capped mountains of the Eastern Sierra providing a dramatic backdrop.

Insider tip — Views of Mount Morrison and the Sierra Nevada from the pools — a spectacular sunset.
