Hot Spring
Mono County, CA
Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
Public BLM mineral springs on a travertine ridge just southeast of Bridgeport, with several rock pools overlooking the high desert and Sierra. Easy dirt-road access and a short walk from parking make it one of the more approachable natural soaks on the US-395 corridor. Pools are clothing-optional by tradition; water temperature and flow vary with season and visitor load.
