These natural hot springs sit roughly 10 miles northwest of Livengood along the Elliott Highway corridor. The springs maintain a steady temperature around 100°F year-round, with several soaking pools carved into the landscape by decades of use. Winter access is easier via snowmobile or fat bike on established trails, while summer requires serious bushwhacking through dense vegetation and boggy terrain.
No facilities whatsoever — pack everything in and out. The area sees moderate use from Fairbanks locals who make the trek, especially during aurora season. GPS essential as there’s no signage, and the final approach can be tricky to navigate even with coordinates.
