Palm Springs Natural Hot Springs

Desert Hot Springs sits atop one of the most productive shallow geothermal aquifers in North America, where fault systems bring heated water close to the surface at temperatures ranging from 40°C to over 70°C. The town's dozens of resorts, motels, and private spa facilities all draw from this thermal reservoir. The springs are naturally odorless, mineral-rich, and remarkably pure, giving the Desert Hot Springs pools a clarity that distinguishes them from sulfurous thermal springs. The San Jacinto and San Bernardino mountains frame the view from the desert floor.
