Bailey Hot Springs is a natural geothermal site located near the town of Shoshone in the high desert of Inyo County, California, not far from Death Valley National Park. The chloride mineral waters emerge from the desert floor at warm temperatures, feeding a primitive bathing pool on Bureau of Land Management land that has attracted soakers seeking a raw, undeveloped desert hot spring experience. The vast, austere landscape of the Mojave and Great Basin deserts surrounds the springs, with the Amargosa Range visible on the horizon and the silence of the desert broken only by wind and birdsong. Bailey Hot Springs is a minimalist, off-grid thermal destination beloved by self-sufficient travelers exploring the remote desert hinterlands of the eastern Sierra Nevada region.
