The Hot Creek Geological Site is a scenic wonderland containing dozens of natural hot springs bubbling up within the rocky walls of a river gorge in the shadows of towering Eastern Sierra mountain peaks. It is a breathtaking place where boiling, bubbling water rich in dissolved minerals emerges in turquoise pools rimmed by layers of travertine rock shrouded in veils of steam.
This location (sometimes called Brees Lookout) provides an impressive view of the winding creek, boiling hot springs, and a spectacular view of the Sierra Nevada in the background.
Location: Hot Creek Geological Site; Mammoth Lakes, California.
