Take Deep Creek Rd South (Hesperia). When it turns to dirt take the dirt, stay to the left, to a large concrete wash looking thing & park here. Note, can no longer go in this way. NOTE: can no longer enter this area. Instead, park off of HWY 173 at the enterance to the dam (Adventure Pass Req'd).
hiking route:
OLD WAY: Hop over the pile of rocks, up a steep small asphalt rd to the top of the dam, make a left and take the PCT 4 miles to hot springs (cross the bridge). NEW WAY: walk across top of dam to PCT trailhead down off the other end of the dam, just pass the large concrete spillway.
details:
It's a pretty dull level walk in, the bridge is neat, and then more dullness until you look ahead and down and see some hot naked ladies (maybe, but probably just some old naked hippies). When you get to the hot springs you are on the same side of deep creek as the hot springs. If you go in the Bowen Ranch way (3mi RT) you come in on the wrong side of deep creek and you have to pay like $4 to park (I rode my bike in this way once). If the water is low enough, there is an area you can cross without getting wet, it's a rocky area around the bend just north of the hot springs, steep getting down to it. Other ways to get to hot springs: from the PCT outside of Lake Arrowhead ~24mi RT, or go up dirt Hwy 173, about 5 miles from bottom of dirt road, there is a narrow bridge and a very small trail with a homemade sign and name, take it to the PCT make a right to hot springs ~5mi RT. (16 T.)
