Twil and I visited
Travertine Hot Springs a couple summers on a road trip through California. It was glorious. And
HOT
. xoB's map lists it at 180 degrees. That's about 80 degrees past aaaah, and a good 70 degrees past holyshitI'mgonnapassout.
Here are a couple pics, as proof it did happen.
Welcome to Travertine Hot Springs.
Abandon All Cool, Ye Who Enter Here.
There's this prominent ... spine at the start of the parking area, it's ... taller than me. I climbed on top.
There's a groove in the top! It's a shallow channel filled with a trickle of water.
That trickle leads along the very top of the spine, and leads to these pools.
