Wonderful?Springs!!? I write about them in my book "The Trail" From Reds Meadow you take the Rainbow Falls trailhead instead of the JMT and it's 13 miles to the hotsprings. About 3-4 miles after crossing the bridge over Fish Creek, you pass a trail junction with an old wooden sign, you cross a small stream, and then head off trail up the hill to find the springs. You'll find many small footpaths there.? There are several pools, one large one, and more very hot ones up on the bluff overlooking the meadow. Or keep going a bit on the main trail, go around a corner, and you'll pass a nice campsite on your right after another 0.1 miles or so and you can get to the springs from there on small foot trails. To get back to the JMT you have several options: In low water, you can go up over Second Crossing and cross Fish Creek (not possible in high water), then head up Cascade Valley and either pick up the trail to Purple Lake (not missing much of the JMT) or continue on to Tulley Hole. In high water you can take that signed trail you passed on the way in to the springs following it (can get a bit sketchy) up past Lake of the Lone Indian and after that either head left to the JMT and Silver Pass or take a right and go over Goodale Pass to VVR.
