Jordan Hot Springs, Natural hot spring in Tulare County, California.
Jordan Hot Springs consists of fourteen thermal springs emerging at 120°F, flowing into Nine Mile Creek where stone-walled pools collect mineral water.
John Jordan discovered these springs in 1861 while building a toll road through the area, before tragically drowning in the Kern River.
Native American tribes used these springs and the surrounding Golden Trout Wilderness as summer encampments before European settlement in the region.
The springs require a demanding six-mile hike from Blackrock Station, descending 3,000 feet through the Inyo National Forest terrain.
Temperature variations in different pools range from 94°F to 104°F, allowing visitors to select their preferred soaking conditions.
