Crystal Crane Hot Springs Oregon

Crystal Crane Hot Springs is a remote natural hot spring near Burns in the High Desert of eastern Oregon, where siliceous geothermal water at approximately 61°C emerges from the volcanic basement of the Great Basin into a large natural pond and private bathing tubs set in a dramatically open landscape of sagebrush steppe, volcanic rimrock, and the vast sky of one of North America's most remote and sparsely inhabited arid landscapes. The ranch-style resort preserves an old-fashioned and unpretentious American western hot spring tradition, offering camping and simple cabin accommodation alongside the natural mineral pools in a setting of complete tranquility and extraordinary Great Basin desert scenery that includes migrating sandhill cranes, pronghorn antelope, and the remarkable dark sky quality of the Harney County night. Crystal Crane exemplifies the remote Great Basin hot spring experience — volcanic water from ancient earth, vast open high desert sky, minimal human infrastructure, and the profound quietude of one of the least populated and most geologically distinctive regions of the American continent.
