Hot Creek, Mammoth Lakes

Hot Creek has a main entrance and parking where people used to enjoy soaking in the hot springs. The hot part of the creek has been closed off for many years for safety reasons. The rest of the creek you can walk along and fish. It's a lovely area where fishing can be good at times. This time of year it exhibits some nice wild flowers although not in large quantities.

Agreed with another poster that the direction is incorrect. We thought oh well and started to look for a return path and stumbled upon it. We were so happy because it's our first time seeing a truly natural hot springs. You can smell the sulfur once you are near. It's really amazing! The area closes at sunset time. And when we were leaving (for real this time) we drove across this vast grass plain field and it was sunset, it's breath taken, included that photo here too.
