[edit] Seasonal Note

Although there was once a bridge crossing Boulder Creek. At some point it has washed away. The hot springs must now be accessed by fording the creek. This means that the optimal times to visit are after the spring runoff and before heavy snowfall. Although it is possible to snowshoe into the hot springs.
