Beautiful scenery! It has been recently rebuilt with native rock to fit its surroundings better instead of plain concrete. If you do a little exploring, there is a second pool, but its location is secret.

Visited Hart Mountain for the first time Memorial Day weekend. The springs were lovely. The developed spring was deep – over my head in spots. The undeveloped spring was, for me, more enjoyable. It’s unimpeded views of the mountains were top notch. There is a third spring, as well, but it’s very small and muddy, probably not suitable for soaking.

My only issue was that some of the campers in the campground were rather disrespectful and loud. In the spot next to ours, someone left their dog tied up alone all day, so it was crying and howling into the evening.

Overall, it was a beautiful trip with great hiking and wildlife in the area.

FYI, over the course of the last few months I’ve received a total of 3 trip reports that state Hart now has red spider mites It has been added to ‘the list’.

My best guess as to why is that hot springers are inadvertently transporting the mites from nearby hot springs in NV.

When is the earliest month to visit Oregon hot springs? I’ll be driving north on Hwy 1 from California. Thanks.
