Idaho is known for its natural accessible hot springs so we knew we had to enjoy some while visiting. Loved these hot springs. Close to Stanley and right off of the highway. Not many spaces for cars, but only 1 other visitior when we were there. Clean, nice warm water and very beautiful and relaxing. Careful some spots of the water were very hot! Not so great for small kids, buf nice for adults to relax.
