Bear Valley Hot Spring
My favorite location, my favorite time of year!
The pool at this site, runs at a fairly constant 100-103 degrees.
The temperature will depend to somce
degree on the amount of fresh water that comes out of a spring just about the input to the main pool.
Consequently, in the fall, when the spring is more or less non-existent, the pool runs a little hotter. It
is always wonderful no matter what the temperature.
The River runs at the 'temperature' of raging! It is called a creek, but it is the largest 'creek' I have ever
seen. If it was called a river, it would still be a 'large' river.
The Rock: just another granite outcropping in an area where there isn't much observable granite. But
with a lot of neat vegetation growing out of the different parts of the rock.
