Overview

Hype:

Red Hill Hot Springs sits just east of the town of Monroe in central Utah and consists of two small soaking pools formed by natural geothermal flow. The site is free to access, minimally maintained, and popular with locals and travelers who enjoy simple, outdoor hot springs without amenities. Temperatures can be adjusted a little by directing spring water into the pools.

The setting features red clay hills, open desert views, and nearby agricultural land, giving the area a distinctly rural feel. The site has a pit toilet and gravel parking. Clothing is required.

Story

After leaving Marysvale, we picked up hamburgers in Richfield, then backtracked a little to Monroe, where we visited Red Hills Hot Springs. It was a lot of fun. There are two little soaking pools, and we stayed for a couple of hours. The boys used Miller’s ice ax to chip off ice and melt it in the pools. The rest of us soaked and talked.
