The springs lie in a valley of the Clearwater National Forest, about 3,200 km west of Washington, D.C., at 986 m elevation. The surrounding slopes are forested with coniferous trees, and fewer than two people live per square kilometre, so bathers share the pools with little else but the creek and the woods.
