Nearby springs
Veyo Pool
A spring-fed swimming pool in a basalt canyon in Veyo, north of St. George. Spring water enters at about 96°F and cools to the high 80s in the pool. The $18 canyon pass also covers a bolted climbing park and crawdad catching, and the pool is open May through October.
Gold Strike Hot Springs
Warm and hot springs in Gold Strike Canyon, which drops to the Colorado River just below Hoover Dam in Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The NPS rates the 5.3-mile round trip as very strenuous: a Class 2 canyoneering route with seven dry falls and about 1,200 ft of elevation change. The trail closes each year from May 15 to Sept. 30 for heat, but the springs stay reachable by water.
Arizona Hot Spring
Spring-fed pools in a narrow canyon above the Colorado River in Lake Mead National Recreation Area, a few miles south of Hoover Dam. The Park Service rates the 5-mile round-trip hike very strenuous, with scrambling and a 20-ft ladder, and closes the trail every year from May 15 to September 30 because of heat. The spring water runs about 111-120°F.
