| Description: | *** Your RSVP is REQUIRED if you are attending with the group! *** Saturday, March 27, ?10am-6pm? Deep Creek Hot Springs Trip (Clothing-Optional) Cost: No fee from BC-MEN, but expect $5-$10 per vehicle parking, plus driving costs. Est. Distance: 100 miles (from Western O.C.), around a 1-2 hr. drive plus a 1 hr. (give/take) hike. Est. car pool cost if 4 going: $3 each for 1/4 of gas cost for 100 mi. at $3.00/gal. & 25 MPG. Note if the weather in the area is too cool or rainy (roads may be impassable), the event will be canceled with a possible reschedule. We'd like to car pool from designated spots in our area, leaving around 10am to arrive there before noon, and likely leave the area of the hot springs around 5-6pm so to have sufficient light to leave the area and get back on the road by nightfall. Map & directions to Bowen Ranch, the start of the shortest trail, is here: http://s.bcmen.org//dchs-br/ The spring area is here, but use the above for driving directions: http://s.bcmen.org//dchs/ Deep Creek Hot Springs is a natural, undeveloped hot spring near Hesperia in the San Bernardino Mtns. area. If the weather cooperates, nude hiking after leaving the parking area is possible to the springs, and most people use the springs nude. Note that since this is a public location on federal (BLM) land, we cannot guarantee we will be alone on the trip, and men, women, & children may be present. Also note that natural hot spring waters sometimes contain amoebas, and it is not advisable to put your head under water - keep your nose & mouth above water at all times and do not drink the water. Deep Creek Hot Springs is a great place to soak your cares away for a while, and features many pools with different degrees of heat to them. (Hot to cool, depending on distance from the source.) The hot springs are about a 1.1 mile hike (est. 30-60 mins.), with about a 500' drop in elevation on the hike to the springs, according to DeepCreekHotSprings.com (Deep Creek Volunteers says it's just over a 2 mi. hike with an over 900' drop in elevation.) Camping near the springs is not permitted, and so not suggested for this trip.
