It’s perfectly normal to soak in hot springs when it’s cold, but who would’ve thought you could find a personal hot spring in the scorching desert that many tourists are eager to soak in. In the desert of Monroe, Utah, USA, there’s a place called Mystic Hot Springs (Mystic HotSprings), where you can not only enjoy hot springs, but also attend music festivals and admire the beautiful desert sunset, offering all kinds of surprisingly fun experiences.

The hot spring water at Mystic Hot Springs has been active underground in Monroe for millions of years, emerging at around 75°C. After cooling, the temperature is reduced to between 37°C and 43°C. It is said that the waters here have magical healing properties, and soaking in the two slightly hotter bathtubs can quickly relieve muscle soreness in a short time. Around the bathtubs, you can also see interesting rock formations created by mineral deposits in the spring water. The owner of the bathtubs, Mike Ginsburg, also cleans them daily to ensure hygiene.
