Aren't WY and ID basically covered in hot springs ? I know there' s a
TON of em around here.

Bill Kaysing authored the best guide to locate hot springs in the West.
Kaysing heads the Flat Earth Society and attempted to sue Buzz Aldrin
who also punched him out after his harassment.

His problem is that his is nothing more than annotations of a DOE
survey of geothermal sites (so it's fairly complete if not always readable).

Other guides like the Falcon series have somewhat better writing and
photos but you can drive or fly by them and not know they are there.




CALIFORNIA
Many years ago I met a location scout for Warner Brothers who
told me that every scenic location in the world could be closely
duplicated in some part of California. For example, if you want to film
a movie about the Alps, just travel to the High Sierras. For a desert
story, drive down to Death Valley. Need lots of water... canals and
rivers and the like? The Delta between San Francisco and Stockton has
thousands of miles of waterways, many sections resembling the tropics.
The same diversity applies where hot springs are concerned.
Down south, around Palm Springs, you can experience the delightful
contrast of chill desert air just before the sun rises and the relaxing
warmth of a mineral pool. If it's high desert you want with pine-clad
mountains nearby, then fly to the northern end of the state near
Alturas, where you'll find an abundant cluster of springs, many
undeveloped and free for the using.
In between these extremes, California has a variety of hot
springs matched by no other state in the West, some developed into
luxurious spas, others waiting in the wilderness for you to discover.
