Keough Hot Spring Bishop California

Keough Hot Springs, in the Owens Valley of eastern California seven miles south of Bishop along US Highway 395, is a historic resort hot spring developed in the early twentieth century whose pool facilities draw thermal waters from the geothermal activity of the Long Valley Caldera volcanic system — one of the most geologically active supervolcanic systems in North America — providing year-round outdoor swimming in one of California's oldest and most accessible hot spring resorts. Keough Hot Spring Bishop California draws on sodium and silica-rich thermal waters from the Long Valley Caldera hydrothermal system, maintaining outdoor pool temperatures between 40 and 43 degrees Celsius throughout the year in a high desert valley setting with panoramic views of the Eastern Sierra Nevada peaks including Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States. The extraordinary Eastern Sierra Nevada mountain scenery framing the Owens Valley, the Alabama Hills movie location landscape used in over four hundred Western films southwest of Lone Pine, and the exceptional fly-fishing culture of the Owens River and the eastern Sierra trout streams create a spectacularly scenic and recreationally diverse backdrop for thermal bathing in the Owens Valley high desert of eastern California.
