About these waters

A working-ranch-turned-hot-springs resort east of Burns built around a large 101-degree mineral pond you can actually swim in. Day visitors pay per person for up to four hours in the pond, or rent private cedar soaking tubs by the hour; overnight options range from tent sites to teepees and cabins. The draw is equal parts warm water and some of the darkest, starriest skies in the state.

Good to know

  • Listing researched October 2026 — prices and hours change, always confirm with the spring before visiting.
  • Hydrate between soaks and limit hot soaks to 15–20 minutes — mineral water dehydrates fast.
  • Wild springs run on the honor system: pack out everything, leave the pool cleaner than you found it.

Crystal Crane Hot Springs: FAQs

Do I need to book Crystal Crane Hot Springs in advance?

For day-use admission, popular resorts sell out on weekends — if the official site offers reservations, book ahead. Weekday visits are usually easier as walk-ins.

Are kids welcome at Crystal Crane Hot Springs?

Many developed springs welcome families, but age rules, family hours, and adults-only pools vary by property. Check the official site for the current policy before visiting with children.

How long should I soak at Crystal Crane Hot Springs?

Start with 15–20 minutes, then cool off and hydrate before going back in. Hot mineral water dehydrates you faster than you expect — drink water between soaks and don't push through dizziness.
