Found this article on the history: "The Springs became a sacred place, and no horseman was allowed to ride within a mile of the steaming waters. Even Geronimo, the famous Apache Chief, used to make his camp nearby, so he and his warriors could bathe in the revitalizing waters.” It was also used by Spanish settlers and denizens of nearby Fort Selden (of "Buffalo Soldiers" fame): More at the link: #FridayNightZillow https://oregontechsfcdn.azureedge.net/oregontech/docs/default-source/geoheat-center-documents/quarterly-bulletin/vol-23/art13.pdf?sfvrsn=91208d60_4

The place features some funky desert art, a main lodge building, a sweet deck overlooking the water. #FridayNightZillow

Hey look. In addition to the outdoor hot springs you also get these historic indoor tubs, with the radium waters piped in. People used to flock to the place for the supposed healing powers of the waters. And, while radioactive, it's not THAT radioactive, right? Right???#FridayNightZillow

@steventdennis when the radioactive water goes into the tubs, do they change from blue to orange??
