Saline Hot Springs, Death Valley California
Haven't been there, but it sounds interesting. That 2-4 hours of dirt road doesn't sound appealing, but I think my VW bus could handle it.
You really need a well maintained four wheel drive vehicle to get to the springs. The roads are rutted and torturous on a vehicle and you definitely do not want to break down in the middle of the desert where there are no people and no phone signals. Your life may depend upon being well prepared for anything including breakdowns.
I have been there once and have been itching lately to get back out there. We stayed in lone pine and made a full day trip out there on motorcycles. It was a long day trip. The drive out there is long but is part of the adventure. I agree with everyone else. Be very prepared when you go out there. We went in November and when the sun was out it was amazing and even able to lay out in the sun. On the ride back, as soon as that sun went over the mountain, it got cold quick. We were not prepared for that and it was a cold ride back to Lone Pine.
But worth the trip to see this amazing oasis. And the cleanest park bathroom I have ever seen. A testament to the community caretakers.
