Bouldering in Bishop tomorrow, thurs and fri. Need info
|
Been to the hot springs once and want to check it out again tonight when I get in. Can anyone give good directions? I just Remember its north on 395 and something about turning into a church? |
|
You're thinking of Hot Creek. Go up the 395 past Crowley and before the airport, there is a green church on the North side. Turn Right and go down that road a few miles. (paved at first then gravel). |
|
Or the section just outside Keoughs, that's the closest one to Bishop: goo.gl/maps/LeMmy |
|
Just saw this, had heard about it but never seen it: sierramountaincenter.com/pd… |
|
Its all about the hot ditch!! Way closer to bishop and top notch. Go south on 395 for about 8 miles, turn right on keough hot spring rd, after you pass an old paved rd take the next right onto a dirt rd. Follow this for a couple hundred yards and its on the left. |
|
Thanks for all the help guys. You people post quick. I totally remember the long wooden walkway. That the one I went to. Thanks again |
|
Would it be safe to hit up the hot springs at night? Ill be pulling into town soon and want to check them out. Or after climbing tomorrow and/or Thursday |
|
It will be safe, but the water is colder before 8 or 9 because they run the water through a swimming pool. The pool is great though if you like 1950s era structures. Cost there is only $8 and you may even see a pro climber or two soaking. |
|
There's fees for the hot ditch? I was aiming for the free pools like the one by the church...I've heard of the old school era look pool that cost money. But I would prefer the "local" free spots |
|
The Kenough ones are free, but they are also used by the pool for heat, so sometimes the Kenough hot springs are not very warm at all. The Mammoth hot springs are much warmer and nicer, but they can be crowded and are a bit of a drive. I don't consider the Kenough ones worthwhile. |
|
Anyone planning on heading to Owens one or more days? I'm heading up with boulderers Fri-Monday and I while I can get them off the pebbles for a day or two, I'd rather spend more time clipping bolts than shuffling pads! |
