## At a Glance
|
|
|
|
- Lesser known hot springs in an infrequented region of Arizona.
|
|
- Beautiful canyon with riparian flora all along the meandering creek.
|
|
- Camping can be difficult to access and noisy. Weekends not recommended due to drunks.
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
|
|
- Pump station is loud if choosing to camp before any water crossings.
|
|
- Lots of dog noise from nearby properties, day and night, echoing though the campgrounds.
|
|
- Driving through the creek can be deep in some spots, but high clearance vehicles should be fine.
|
|
|
|
## Recommendations
|
|
|
|
- Drive as close as you can to the hot springs.
|
|
- I saw an unlifted Tacoma and 4Runner make it there no problem.
|
|
- My van made it to the first water crossing after the large campground. After that I did not want to risk anymore since my runner boards hang low. (TBD, -TBD)
|
|
|
|
## Reception
|
|
|
|
- AT&T worked great and had LTE.
|
|
- T-Mobile had cell reception but no LTE/data.
|
|
- Verizon: unknown.
