Still swooning over this sauna cave at...
๐ Gold Strike Hot Springs, near the base of the Hoover Dam
Fun facts about this sauna cave โฌ๏ธ
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:
๐ฆ It is not for the claustrophobic ๐ฌ
๐ฆ Bring water shoes and a light.
๐ฆ It gets HOT at the end of the cave and you will sweat
So don't stay too long.
๐ฆ Don't let the water get into your nose or mouth.
๐ฆ This entire hike is closed during the summer months.
๐ฆ 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!
