Travertine Hot Springs (Mono County, California)

 

In the hills just southeast of Bridgeport, CA, a small valley is home to a number of hot spring vents and pools. I've visited Travertine Hot Springs a couple of times in the past, but I've never really taken the time to walk around much. The area really is amazing. In the distance, the snow-covered Sierra's provide an amazing backdrop to this little salt valley. 

As I climb to the top of one of the ridges, I note that a trench has been cut to carry the hot springs water all the way down to some pools that have been fashioned at the end of the ridge. This area is very popular for those that enjoy relaxing in the naturally warmed mineral waters bubbling up from the earth below.
