About Stanley Hot Springs
A backcountry gem requiring a moderate 5-mile hike along the trail into the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, the largest wilderness area in the Lower 48. Multiple primitive pools are terraced along a steep hillside among old-growth cedar trees, with each pool offering a slightly different temperature. The effort to reach Stanley Hot Springs is richly rewarded by solitude and pristine natural beauty.
