After a long hike north and south this is the first contact of the PCT trail with a paved road, Hwy 173 that ends here at a wide parking area. This is also the best free trailhead parking area to hike 6 miles to the popular Deep Creek Hot Springs. A mile in, the trail crosses a wide ford where the creek is dry or so shallow much of the year that it won't get the shoes wet. If waters are high after rain or snow melt a parallel track can be taken along the dam. At the hot springs a shorter trail that would require fording the creek goes to Bowen Ranch, where for many years parking and trail access was offered for a fee, about $10. There are reports that Bowen Ranch has been recently closed at times, but there are apparently neighboring farm options. Alternatively from here a dirt road goes up the ridge, from where a trail leads down to the springs.

This is the nearest official trailhead if you like to visit the infamous Deep Creek Hot Springs. It is a 12-mile out and back hike. This section is also a part of the iconic Pacific Crest Trail. Keep in mind that you have to ford the Deep Creek itself just under a mile from here. It Rainbow Bridge spans over the Deep Creek, but some miles further down the trail.
