Located 25 miles from Burns in the wide-open spaces, this natural outdoor spring reservoir offers a panoramic view of the high desert region of southeast Oregon.
From “geothermal activity deep within the earth, the springs emerge with steaming hot water rich with minerals.” Visitors can soak from early in the morning to witness a high desert sunrise to late at night to take in the immenseness of the starry sky.
