Discover a Soothing Oasis: Green Canyon Hot Springs

The elk ranch up the road sends its hunters down the hill for a soak at the end of the day.

Rocky Mountain Elk Ranch sits in the hills above Newdale, and after a long day of hunting, its guests head down to Green Canyon. The ranch's write-up covers the basics: Pincock Hot Springs started in 1903 up the hill to the east, the Neibaur family has run it since 1953, and the pool moved to the bottom of the canyon in the years that followed.

They describe the 96 degree big pool as the everyday soak and the 105 degree outdoor hot pool as the reward, and they call it a long-time favorite of families, church groups and travelers alike.
