DesertMud - Hiking, Mountain Biking, Pine Trees, Southern California
Deep Creek Hot Springs Update

the hike:
Deep Creek Hot Springs
date: 9/04/2000
location: San Bernardino NF, Southern California, USA
type: Out & Back
distance: 8 Mi RT
difficulty: **
scenic: **
technical: *
driving directions: From Hesperia, take Main St to Rock Springs Rd, take a left and drive to the stop sign at Deep Creek Rd, make a right. Go all the way down Deep Creek Rd to where it turns into a dirt road (thru that dumb gate that was put up and someone tore the gate off, YEAH!!), go left, right when dirt rd begins and take the long "L" to near the foothills, just staying on the main dirt rd and head toward the spillway and park there. DesertMud assumes no responsibility for you illegally tresspassing on your own US land - so go thru the torn off gate at your own risk. 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: Hike up the concrete Deep Creek spillway and take the PCT on your left 4 miles to the hot springs. 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: We got from the spillway/dam thing to the cliff jumping spot (which is at the end of the 2nd main bend into the hike down near this little outhouse sized building just off the PCT down in Deep Creek) in 30 min. The water along the whole section of deep creek was really muddy today (like chocolate milk) & it really didn't look that great to get into. Jerry jumped off anyway, but this kid Josh wouldn't jump; 'course I didn't jump either. Anyways continue on PCT, it was kind of hot but not too bad, and get to the bridge and there's this nice mud pit right below, so I grabbed maybe a 45 lb rock and threw it in and it made this big 'ol crater. So keep going up the little shortcut on the other side of the bridge, get to the hotsprings, quite a few people out there and young kids too; some nice looking chicks and one nice looking naked chick. There was this one balm-a@@ looking chic but she was wearing this blu bikini. Pretty dull day overall. Then we get back to my house and jammed for a few hours. Two complaining neighbors but no cops this time (..."I have to get up at two in the moring and go to work..." ... "I have to get up at 3 in the morning and go to work...") ... so we moved into my garage and it was hot in there & way too loud. Got a visit from some other neighbor & she had two nice looking girls with her (probably Josh's age) and they like it. YEAH!! (8T)
