The Hot Springs Trail

The Hot Springs Trail is a 2,421.4-mile backpacking route that connects sacred places with healing waters. This thru-soaking journey begins directly on the Pacific Ocean, in the paradise town of Santa Barbara, California, and visits 100 wild or resort hot spring areas before reaching Canada.

Located between these rejuvenating springs are dozens of swim-worthy lakes, historic resupply towns, and remote summits; plus a diversity of big-game wildlife, stunning geology, and unique ecosystems. The Hot Springs Trail has been broken down into 4 smaller parts, each of which is its own epic adventure with its own complete guidebook. Part 1 - The Coast Connect Trail

Part 2 - The High Sierra Hot Springs Trail

Part 3 - The Nevada Trail

Part 4 - The Idaho Soaktennial Trail
