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.
In this post, we return to Hilltop Hot Springs and visit Wild Willy's, both off Benton Crossing along U.S. 395. We also have a delicious brunch recommendation while in Mammoth.
The adventure continues along U.S. 395 with a trip to June Lake, Hilltop Hot Springs, and Lee Vining.
Bridgeport, California is located in the heart of the Eastern Sierra Nevadas along U.S. 395. It is an adventurer's paradise, with hot springs, hiking trails, and the possibly haunted Bodie State Historic Park.
It has long been said that drinking the waters from the hot springs of youth will bring life and vigor back to your bones, curing all sorts of ailments. As such, Karlovy Vary has been a popular destination and spa town for past several centuries, with nobility, politicians, and other people of influence and fame coming to partake in its healing waters.
