Idaho Rocky Mountain Hot Springs

Idaho Rocky Mountain Hot Springs is a natural thermal spring resort in Garden Valley, a remote valley in the Boise County foothills of the Idaho Rocky Mountains, where bicarbonate-rich hot spring water emerges on the bank of the Middle Fork of the Payette River — one of Idaho's premier white-water kayaking and fly-fishing rivers. The naturally heated spring water fills a series of outdoor soaking pools at different temperatures in a landscaped riverside setting of ponderosa pine, granite boulders, and mountain views that exemplifies the natural Rocky Mountain hot spring experience. Garden Valley's location along the South Fork Payette River corridor provides access to excellent river rafting, trout fishing, and mountain biking trails, while the surrounding Boise National Forest offers wilderness hiking, wildlife watching (deer, elk, and eagles are common), and the spectacular granite formations of the Idaho Batholith. The combination of natural bicarbonate spring bathing and the exceptional outdoor recreation landscape of the Idaho Rockies makes Garden Valley's hot springs a quintessential western American wilderness wellness destination.
