best hot springs in California ⬇️ 🔥💦 NO hiking is needed! So many of the top hot springs required a hike, or at the very least a challenging scramble. I love how easy Travertine Hot Springs are to access, making them available to everyone (not just the ultra fit who can backpack deep into the mountains). I adore winter hot spring soaks, so if you have 4WD, winter is a great time to visit. It's located in Bridgeport, which is in the Eastern Sierra and DOES get a lot of snow! Sunrise is the best time to soak in hot springs to have them all to yourself. Evenings are usually great for a party happy hour vibe. But Travertine is special since you can easily swing by them on your road trip so they usually have people at all hours of the day. Don't forget to pack out trash, SKIP glass and watch out for bees.
