Lovingly maintained by an old lady, go here quickly before she passes and the family might not continue her labor of love. Get a key for $5 and luxuriate all day in this tropical oasis created with the natural hot springs while it snows or rains outside. Paradise!
Although the resort hotel burned down a century ago, the hot springs themselves still bubble up through the ground into a spring-fed greenhouse where the soaking is done in one of three concrete baths. Inside the greenhouse, heated by geothermal energy, an eye-popping assortment of fruits and vegetables grow, including grapes, Asian pears and hibiscus flowers. Just what’s needed after the long drive along the Elliott Highway.
Standard vehicles can make the journey, and there is petrol available (pricey). Just make sure to carry spare tires in case of a flat on the 20plus miles of unpaved gravel roads.
