After any strenuous outdoor fun, these mineral waters ease the pain of sore muscles and joints.

All tubs are private, located in covered shacks scattered in the woods along the creek and river. And they stay open until 10 PM on Sunday-Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday!

Sacred to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, the 105-degree water is known for its unique mineral composition (and is estimated to be approximately 12,000 years old!).Travelers have journeyed to the natural mineral hot springs about 36 miles north of Asheville since the late 1700s. Nearby, to the west of the fault, a cold water aquifer produces water so tasty that it has medaled numerous times at the annual international water tasting competition in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia.Ī few miles away in downtown Palm Springs, the Spa at Séc-he offers 22 private soaking tubs and an outdoor mineral pool where guests can experience the healing power of the Agua Caliente Hot Mineral Spring. Where does the water come from? Just east of the San Andreas Fault, super-heated, sulfur-free water emerges from an underground aquifer at temps of up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Your fast pass to soaking in these therapeutic waters can be found at the many independently owned boutique hotels in Desert Hot Springs (known as California's "Spa City"), where the pools are filled with mineral spring waters that improve health, reduce pain, and increase metabolism. Where better to chill than in one of Southern California's most spa-centric destinations? With their beautiful scenery and natural healing waters, the cities of Desert Hot Springs and Palm Springs are a must during any Greater Palm Springs getaway - especially when relaxation is calling your name.
