Some 2004 hikers tried to get to these springs but couldn't figure out 
away across the river.
A local at Red's Meadow said they weren't worth the trouble.

I took the alternate route via Fish Creek from VVR to Red's Meadow and 
stopped at
the hot springs along the way.  About five separate pools to soak in.  
I did the
climb up the hill to the hot/secluded pools above and camped up there.  
Very nice
way to end the day.
