Still swooning over this sauna cave at...
š Gold Strike Hot Springs, near the base of the Hoover Dam
Fun facts about this sauna cave ā¬ļø
Did you know that workers drilled this tunnel during construction of the Hoover Dam? At about 50 feet into drilling, they tapped into a natural hot spring that was so hot that they couldnt continue drilling any further. Later, this tunnel was transformed into a bearable hot spring!
But be warned of the following regarding this sauna cave:
š¦ It is not for the claustrophobic š¬
š¦ Bring water shoes and a light.
š¦ It gets HOT at the end of the cave and you will sweat
So don't stay too long.
š¦ Don't let the water get into your nose or mouth.
š¦ This entire hike is closed during the summer months.
š¦ It is a challenging hike with ropes for bouldering to get down into the canyon. [check out my previous
#reel for the journey to get here!]
Happy adventuring!
