Alvord Hot Springs, Geothermal spring near Steens Mountain in Harney County, Oregon, US.
Two concrete pools with temperatures of 105°F lie on the edge of Alvord Desert, facing the steep slopes of Steens Mountain.
The thermal spring operated as a free public resource until 2013, when the Davis Family transformed it into a managed facility with improved infrastructure.
The spring pools serve as a gathering point for nature enthusiasts who appreciate the combination of mineral waters and mountain views.
Visitors need to contact the on-site caretaker before arrival and prepare for dirt road conditions with appropriate vehicles.
The spring water contains a mixture of sodium, bicarbonate, chloride, and sulfate, creating specific mineral properties in the soaking pools.
