The Deep Creek Hot Springs are nestled at the base of a deep crevice in the San Bernardino National Forest near the town of Apple Valley. You can reach the springs via a fairly short 2.5-mile hiking trail from Bowen Ranch, which drops quite steeply to reach Deep Creek – consequently you need to be prepared for a strenuous hike back up to the trailhead. Once you cross Deep Creek you will find about five or six differing hot pools to try – the temperature of the water varies from pool to pool and can be anything from pleasantly warm to really hot. If you need to cool off, you can hop into the chilly waters of the creek. Bring plenty of drinking water and sunscreen.
