If you go to Grover Hot Springs Park and don’t make it in the water, we must insist you go again. The park has two concrete pools , one which is filled using the runoff from six mineral springs. The pool’s water is carefully mandated so that the pool stays fairly predictable between 102 - 104 degrees Fahrenheit. We’re convinced there is no better way to wrap up a day of hiking, exploring, fishing or snowshoeing than a nice, warm dip in this pool .

Nearby the park is a stretch of Carson river, the perfect means for a wild whitewater rafting adventure. The majority of this stretch is class II rapids. Rivers in this area of the country can often be spunkier and harder to handle than elsewhere, so whitewater rafting here is not recommended for beginners. For veterans though, it can be a hell of a ride!
