 Cool guide to hot springs Apr 29, 2000
Photos make this book more valuable than any list of hot springs. Cool Trails recommends this guide for hikers who want to relax in a hot spring at the end of a long hike. Many of the hot springs in the northwest are developed to some degree, and very few of the wild springs are far enough from a road to be considered "hikes." Still, most are located in areas rich in trail hiking opportunities. Covers AK, BC, AB, WA, MT, OR, ID, WY and some other areas of the US.

 A Fitting Tribute to "Mr Hot Springs" Aug 04, 2004
By Kevin Killian
We all remember Jayson Loam who created the original guides to the hot springs back in the 70s and 80s. Even then he was so spring chicken, but he kept a hale and happy outlook on life based on his habit of immersing himself in the beautiful waters of America's hot springs (and wells). Now that Jayson has passed on to his happy reward--he died about ten years ago, at a great age--the torch has been passed on to a new generation of hot springs watchers and dippers, and Marjorie Gersh-Young has updated Loam's findings with some new material (lots of it) on her own. It's great and so are the photographs that illustrate every location.
My only dispute is, I don't see why Puerto Rico is in the book, it is a great state (or whatever it is) but it is not in the Northwest by any means! I forget what Jayson Loam had to say about including Puerto Rico among the Northwest region (if any). But in general, Gersh-Young does a splendid job of compiling and sharing the healthful habit of hot springs with a wildly enthusiastic crowd. Did you know that the Native Americans believed that hot springs provide "Big Medicine" direct from the Great Spirit? That's only one of a thousand charming facts you'll learn from this new edition of Loam's magnificent classic reference work. It's a bargain at any price!

A Must Have Dec 21, 2008
By Amanda Barragar
"a starlight"
I already had this same book for the Southwestern States so I knew it would be good. It's a very useful book, with very detailed directions and information. This book is a good overall guide to the Northwestern States.

Going to hot springs and pools is so much fun.
The author makes it easy to find what you want.
It's inexpensive and being out in nature is fabulous.
Good activity for families to share.

A Review Sep 22, 2010
By Trevor
If you like to visit hot springs in the North West. This is your book. I own Jason Loam's original hot springs book and this new one has mush more detail and better directions, plus they have added quite a few new springs! It is a must have for Hot Springers.
