Johnson Creek Hot Spring

I have heard rumors of the bathtub in Johnson creek. Someone want to tell me where it is, how to find the trailhead, and how it is?

Re: Johnson Creek Hot Spring

There's a trail from the middle of the airfield on the west side, take that about 2ish miles and it'll go right to it. I sat in it for over an hour... nuff said.

The only pic I have is at 5:53 in this movie.

Re: Johnson Creek Hot Spring

The tub is on the east facing slope, aligned north/south. The hike takes about an hour to get to the tub. Roughly 3/4 of the hike is south, then for the last 1/4 you'll make a 90 degree turn to the west, uphill to the tub. It sits in a patch of rock. Nice, easy hike worth doing.
