Idaho’s Best-Kept Secret — Goldbug Hot Springs
We love getting recommendations from people when we travel. Whether through blog sites like this one or directly from people we meet on the road, it’s a great way to add exciting stops not found in guidebooks. This was exactly how we found out about Idaho’s best-kept secret — Goldbug Hot Springs.
While having a beer in Whitefish, Montana, we met Damian. He was completing a workaway in Idaho and told us about his time at Goldbug Hot Springs. He hadn’t seen anything about it in guidebooks — it was a suggestion passed along friend-to-friend, and now, we were in on the secret too. It was also en route to the Sawtooth Mountains, which were our next big stop. Everything lined up perfectly, so we excitedly added it to our itinerary.
Goldbug Hot Springs — Quite possibly the best natural hot springs on public lands.
From high mountain passes to valleys along gorgeous, winding rivers, the drive through this part of Idaho was beautiful. The skies were a clear, vivid blue, and everything from the grass to the changing tree leaves were a golden hue in the bright sunlight.
Another great thing about Idaho? They have tons on free BLM campgrounds scattered throughout the state! We passed several of them on our way to the Goldbug trailhead and were amazed by their beautiful riverfront locations.
As we turned onto the road for the Goldbug trailhead, we thought we were in the wrong place. It looked like we turned onto private property. But we continued until we saw the signs for the trail and prepared for our hike.
The hike that day was four miles long — two miles there and two miles back — with a 1350 ft elevation change. The beginning of the trail had tight switchbacks and left us breathless, but then it changed to an easier, more gradually-upward slope. As we walked through a desert-like area, we saw gold-colored grasshoppers leaping up from the sagebrush. “Gold bugs!” we laughed, finally understanding the odd name.
We hiked excitedly toward the mountains and the desert trail led us into old rockslide area, which shifted into a lush, mossy strip next to a small creek. As we hiked up the steps alongside the creek, we started to notice steam rising from it, carrying the slight smell of sulfur into the air. We’d arrived!
As water cascaded off the cliff, it collected into several pools. The pools closest to the top were the warmest, and the water got cooler as it worked its way down to the lower ones. Since we were the first people to trek up to the pools that morning, we had first pick. We chose a larger and hotter pool at the very top and settled in to enjoy the perfectly clear water and the incredible views of the Lemhi Range behind us.
Soaking in the hot water and chatting with the people who joined us was a great experience. Goldbug Hot Springs is on public land and is a wilder hot spring than most of the others we’ve visited, so visitors wore varying levels of clothing while bathing. Jimmy and I had a good laugh after we left because, for the first time, there were more nude young females bathing than nude old men. What luck!
As the sun climbed higher in the sky, we had to make a tough decision: reapply our favorite sunscreen and stay or start the trek back down to our campervan, Dot. We chose the latter of the two and started to trek back down while we were still blissful and without a sunburn. It was an amazing morning and we were a little sad to leave.
Thanks for sharing! I had never heard of this hot springs before. Sounds great, I’ll be sure to check this out if I ever make it to Idaho. The hike is the perfect distance for me to handle.
The hike is definitely worth the payoff!
This looks like an awesome hike with a great reward of the hot springs at the end! I haven’t been to Idaho yet but I’m hoping to do a northwest road trip next summer so I’ll have to keep this in mind.
The hike was great and really gets you back onto a cliffside. It made for stunning views while having a soak!
Idaho has always been on the very tip-top of my husband’s bucket list. Now I’m about to tell him we can buy plane tickets!!
Elizabeth, we loved Idaho. We drove South from Missoula to Goldbug Hot Springs, the Sawtooth Mountains, Ketchum, and finally Craters of the Moon National Monument before dipping down to Salt Lake City. There was so much hiking and camping everywhere, we are desperate to go back and explore anything we missed! You and your husband will absolutely love Idaho.
Haha that hot springs sounds fun! I haven’t been to Idaho yet either. It looks beautiful! Would definitely love to visit
Brittany, you should add it to your bucket list. It was beautiful and so much fun!
What a wonderful thing to discover, thanks to your friend. I am not much of a hiker but would love to do something where the end leads to dipping in a hot spring. I am curious to see if it gets more popular will they built a driveway and start charging a fee.
Hi Arunima! The parking lot and very beginning of this trail are actually located on private land, and then it switches to BLM/public land as you get further up the trail. I’m not sure what kind of contract the private landowners have with BLM, and if they’d be allowed to build up the parking area and entry. I would assume (and hope) they would not! That would be a shame b/c these public lands belong to all of us!
The secret of Goldbug Hot Springs and how it was passed to you reminds me of the movie “The Beach” – somethings are too good to be shared! Glad you had such a great experience!
I haven’t seen that movie! I will have to check it out.
We have been to the US a few times but yet to get to Idaho. Happy to discover Goldbug Hot Springs. The fact that they are on route to mountains makes them even more inviting! What an amazing reward after a breathless hike! A perfect relaxation. Gold-colored grasshoppers.. wow…would love to see them!
Navita, everything about this experience was absolutely perfect! The drive, the views, the hike, the clear water…just wow. If you get the chance to stop by one day, I’m sure you would love it too!
I love the name Goldbug. It sounds like it could be part of a children’s story, but seriously the hike looks pretty awesome as well.
Janine, it’s funny you say that because I totally agree! It sounds exactly like something you’d find in a children’s book. How fun!
I’ve been to the US a few times but I didn’t visit Idaho and I never thought I’d find such amazing nature over there. The hot springs look absolutely amazing!
Daniel, we didn’t know much about Idaho until a couple of months before our trip. A friend told us it was her favorite state during a 5-state circle she completed over the summer and we were so excited to visit it ourselves! We can’t wait to go back — we could very happily spend a summer here hiking and exploring and hope that you will get the chance to do so too. Cheers!
I seriously had no idea that Idaho had hotsprings like this! i’m adding it to my US must visit list for sure
Yes! If you love to hike, camp or explore hot springs, Idaho will be an incredible vacation destination for you.
Honestly I feel so ignorant because I had to google Idaho! Thanks for introducing me to a new place! I love the idea of hotspring and have never been to one before
Haha, no problem! Idaho is often overlooked but it’s so beautiful.
Hey there! Quick question that’s entirely off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My
blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4.
I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be
able to correct this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Thank you!
Hi! We use beaver builder lite as a WordPress plugin to create pages and posts. I’m not sure if it is the plugin or our template that keeps our site mobile friendly. Hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing your experience with Goldbug. It is truly magnificent, isn’t it! I have been lucky enough to visit a few times since I moved to Southeast Idaho. Love your blog and appreciate all your tips and words.

The Idaho Natural Hot Springs (INHS) group is a friendly, open, outgoing fun-seeking, outdoor-loving, non-discriminatory, leave-no-trace, camping, hiking, backpacking, wilderness-experience, responsible, adult beverage sharing... GROUP THAT LOVES SOAKING in the 200+ Natural Hot Springs in Idaho! Members of the group also travel to Oregon, Washington, Nevada, California and Montana to enjoy hot springs and private resorts in those locations as well!
b. All members of the group must be aware that many natural hot springs are clothing optional and that the general public, along with many of our members, choose to enjoy soaking in the nude. Please carefully read this Purpose and Disclaimer before joining the group. Every time you participate in an INHS trip or event you acknowledge that you have read and accepted this Purpose and Disclaimer.
c. The INHS group is a great place to make life-long friends and try new things. We look forward to meeting and getting to know you while enjoying one of Idaho's many amazing soaking experiences!
II. Idaho Natural Hot Springs Group Disclaimer:
a. By joining the INHS group, you agree, accept, and acknowledge that there are potential risks involved in venturing to any hot spring. You further agree, accept, and acknowledge that you alone are responsible for your own safety and that INHS and its leadership has no such responsibility. It is the policy of INHS to be safe and responsible and not to take unnecessary risks. However, each member assumes responsibility for his/her own safety and well-being.
III. Important Information You Need to Know:
i. What safety and behavior issues should I be aware of?
1. There are potential risks involved in visiting hot springs that could result in serious injury or death. Weather, other environmental conditions, lack of conditioning, insufficient gear, wildlife threats, etc. must be considered when deciding whether or not to participate in a hot springs outing. Neither INHS nor its leadership is responsible for your safety, your physical conditioning, inadequate gear, damage to your gear, etc. Each member and/or guest is responsible for knowing and understanding their own physical conditioning and limitations, gear, safety, etc. Please be responsible and prepared.
ii. How is transportation handled?
1. Each member and guest is responsible for arranging his/her own transportation to and from any INHS event. Carpooling is encouraged. Please contribute for gas if you're not driving.
iii. What do I need to bring for overnight events?
1. Check with your event host to determine what equipment you will need for overnight events. At a minimum, you will need adequate and appropriate clothing and camping gear for the season and expected weather conditions; food, water, required medications, etc.
iv. What should I wear when I soak in a natural hot spring?
1. Suit-free soaking is encouraged and members are free to soak however they are most comfortable.
2. Many hot springs, especially those in the back country, are clothing optional and most members of the INHS do not wear suits. As a result, you should expect to see nude individuals in and around the hot springs. If this offends you, the INHS group may not be an appropriate group for you.
3. What if I have never done that before? Will I be embarrassed or teased? If you have ever gone barefoot or worn shorts or a tshirt, you have already been seen partially naked! Body parts that are visible when we are fully naked are just like other body parts, neither shameful nor unpresentable. There’s no reason to be embarrassed and we make every effort to make everyone feel perfectly at ease and welcome.
4. If you do wear a suit, be sure that it is freshly rinsed in clean water at home. Detergents, bacteria and and other unpleasant things linger in the fibers of laundered clothing and are detrimental to the aquatic environment.
v. Is this a sex, orgy, or hookup group?
1. No! Absolutely not! INHS was created as a safe group for everyone. Any abusive language, rude or crude behavior, inappropriate touching, overtly sexual behavior or advances of an unwelcome or unwanted nature are not tolerated.
2. Should you witness or if you are the recipient of any type of inappropriate behavior, please contact the event host or INHS leadership immediately and provide factual details so that the matter can be investigated and resolved in a timely manner.
vi. Is alcohol allowed at INHS group events?
1. It is not uncommon for members 21 years of age and older to consume adult beverages on an INHS trip [in a hot spring-safe container (no glass!)]. Underage drinking is not permitted.
vii. Is there a minimum age to join the INHS group?
1. The INHS group is for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old to join. For group outings to commercial hot springs and resorts, the minimum age is 21.
viii. Is photography allowed?
1. Photography and videography are allowed and encouraged. However, taking photos or videos of members and guests soaking nude requires the express permission of each person depicted and may not be posted online without the express permission of everyone in the photo or video. You agree that any photo or video you post online will be taken down and deleted immediately upon request of INHS, its leadership or by anyone visible in the photo or video.
ix. Is there a membership fee to join the INHS?
1. Yes. There is a $5 per year membership fee. The membership fee helps defray expenses of maintaining an online community.
IV. Contacting the Group:
a. Important! Please reach out to the group organizers with your alternate contact information (phone/email). We need to be able to reach you quickly in the event of an emergency or a last-minute trip idea!
V. Right of Refusal:
a. INHS leadership reserves the right to deny any person access to an IHNS event if, in the leadership’s judgment, that person is unprepared, inexperienced, disruptive, or for any other reason that might lead to safety issues or unnecessary delays for themselves or others in the group.
b. INHS reserves the right to conduct a full and complete background check on each member of the group and to deny or revoke membership to anyone based on the results of the background check.
This is a great place to make lifetime friends and try new things. We are so much looking forward to getting to know you and enjoying Idaho's many amazing soaking experiences together!
