I know that for me, nothing beats a nice soak in a hot spring to
recharge my weary bones while on the trail. Where would you rather
spend a zero day anyway? Sitting in some dinky motel room, or soaking
under the stars?

Unfortunately, I haven't found much info re: hot springs in any of the
guides (don't have Yogi's yet so maybe they're in there?) Anyway,
thought I would post the ones that I did find. Please add to these if
you know of more springs on the PCT (or within reasonable hitching
distances) or have more complete information on the ones posted below.
Any first hand accounts would be wonderful.

I have thus far been unable to identify some of the springs locations
in re: to the PCT, so any help in that area (i.e. in determining
distance/routes to the trail) would also be very appreciated.

I look forward to soaking with you all in 2006.
