Trail Overview

Castle Hot Springs is a natural hot spring that has an intriguing history as a health resort. In operation since 1896, the original Castle Hot Springs resort was destroyed by fire in 1976. Under new ownership, the resort reopened in 2019. The hot springs are for overnight guest use only. This is not a 'Jeeping" road by any stretch of the imagination; it is an easy ride through scenic backcountry. The road accesses several real Jeep trails in the area.

Status Reports

Trail is an easy scenic dirt road through the mountains. Lots of good views and animals, we saw a burro and deer. There were a couple of other vehicles but nothing crazy. Only took about 2 hours to complete.

Gorgeous Level one trail, with beautiful scenery. I had no idea people lived out here. I'm going to have to try some of the harder trails that off-shoot this one.

Dramatic, craggy mountains; nice long range views; Resort with palm trees. Sedan can make it to the resort but 4x4 better on the washboards and some minor rocky areas.
