| Serpentine Hot Springs |
Reservations: No |
| A bunkhouse-style cabin at Serpentine Hot Springs sleeps 15 to 20 people in two sections. A wooden tub for bathing is enclosed in a small bathhouse which is fed by the waters of the hot spring.
All cabins are unreserved and bush etiquette may require sharing space with strangers. Camping is relatively unrestricted, with no formal campsites and no developed water, power, or sanitation facilities.Serpentine Hot Springs is remote and potential dangers exist. The area is subject to abrupt and sometimes severe weather changes. Sudden storms can change the pastoral scene into a rugged and hostile environment.
The temperature of the water can range from 140 - 170 ° F. Winter ice builds up around the bathhouse, making footing treacherous. Alcohol increases the danger of slipping on ice. It can impair the body's ability to respond appropriately to heat or cold, increasing the possibility of scalding or hypothermia. Remember, medical attention can be days, or even weeks away.
Serpentine Hot Springs has always had a casual, relaxed, and sharing atmosphere. Each person shared responsibility of caring for the facilities and left the area in a condition which contributed to the next person's enjoyment. The National Park Service encourages newcomers to respect this tradition. The reward will be a truly unique and memorable experience.
