Mystic Hot Springs Utah

Mystic Hot Springs is a colorfully eccentric and beloved geothermal retreat in Monroe, Sevier County, Utah, where sulfurous volcanic water at approximately 38-42°C fills a collection of hand-built travertine soaking pools and repurposed vintage bathtubs set amid an art installation landscape of painted rocks, sculptures, and quirky installations that have accumulated over decades on the high desert valley floor below the Tushar Mountains. The springs draw from the geothermal zone of central Utah's volcanic field — one of the youngest and most geologically active volcanic areas in the continental United States, where eruptions occurred as recently as 600 years ago — giving the sulfurous water a connection to genuinely recent volcanic activity in the great Basin volcanic province. Mystic Hot Springs has established itself as a beloved counter-cultural destination that celebrates both the natural geothermal heritage of the Great Basin and a spirit of creative, community-oriented wellness culture that sets it apart from more conventional Utah outdoor tourism.
