In this third post featuring the Ebbetts Pass Scenic Byway, we visit the state park at the eastern terminus of the route: Grover Hot Springs State Park. As a result of geothermal activity thanks to the subduction zone at the boundary of the Pacific and North American Plates, hot water flows from six naturally heated springs making for some fun recreation opportunities in this unique state park.
There are many opportunities for fun and adventure along the Ebbetts Pass Scenic Byway, a 61-mile stretch of California Routes 4 and 89 traversing the mighty Sierra Nevada Mountains. This post explores several points of interest along this spectacular drive, including Ebbetts Peak, a small portion of the famed Pacific Crest Trail, and alpine lakes. There is so much to explore along this national scenic byway.
