![]() ![]() I strongly recommend visiting this tub just before sunrise. Walk over the log bridge and large rocks up to the grassy area and you will find Old Pedro. Walk down the paved road in front of the giant metal trash dumpsters toward the campsites and after a few minutes, you will see the "trailhead" on your left - a narrow dirt path between 2 waist-high boulders. This is a 10 minute walk from the Day Park. The most popular hot spring is Old Pedro - two cement soaking tubs with water at 107°. To access the hot springs, park in the Day Park (only holds about 14 cars) inside the resort area, or near the green bridge outside off the road (*room for 2 to 3 cars on either side of the bridge). Visitors can stand neck-deep in water in the concrete Idione tubs, or swim in the 4ft - 5ft larger Little Eden pond, which can accommodate a large family. They are more for reclining, and soaking in the warm water and views. Most pools are very small, shallow (2ft -4ft), and hold only 1-3 people. The hot springs are scattered all around the area. It still wasn't very specific as far as distance, but was enough to help us find every pool with little difficulty. The first weekend, my friends and I had difficulty finding the different hot springs, even though I'd read all the descriptions on the Mono HS Resort website, and had their cutesy little pictoral map in hand.īefore the next weekend, I watched the 5min video on the Mono HS Resort website that follows 2 employees as they walk to each hot spring. The whole loop is only about 2 miles, but some of the hot springs are quite high up on the hill - the furthest pools are next to Edison Lake Rd on the ridge, so some hot springs require more effort to reach. However, it isn't too difficult to find the various hot springs if you have a few tips, time to explore, and a little patience. The Mono HS Resort website has descriptions of all of the more recognizable hot springs, and some are named on the resort's (vague) pictoral map, while others are just pictured as anonymous puddles. ![]() It doesn't have any trailhead signs, nor is it a clear-cut path. The Mono Hot Springs trail is NOT well marked. It takes 2.5 - 3hrs to drive there from Fresno. This loop trail is found at the Mono Hot Springs Resort in the Sierra National Forest/Kaiser Pass area. ***See below for driving directions and area info. It is NOT actually in either of the lake towns, Lakeshore or Huntington. Though the official Google address is Lakeshore, Mono Hot Springs Trail is found at the Mono Hot Springs Resort in MONO HOT SPRINGS, 1hr away from Lakeshore. ![]()
