Carson Hot Springs Nevada

Carson Hot Springs in Carson City, Nevada's state capital, is one of the oldest continuously operating thermal resorts in the American West, attracting bathers since before Nevada's statehood in 1864 when Carson City served as a stop on the overland emigrant routes. The silica-rich geothermal waters emerge naturally hot and are channelled into outdoor pools within an unpretentious historic bathhouse complex that retains the character of a classic Western hot spring resort without the commercial gloss of modern destination spas. Carson City's unique position as a small, walkable state capital — with the Nevada State Capitol, Nevada State Museum, and historic Mint building all within walking distance — makes Carson Hot Springs an ideal complement to a day of exploring the Silver State's frontier heritage.
