7 Best California Hot Springs for a Relaxing Soak

"Right in Los Angeles, Beverly Hot Springs is fed by a strong artesian well (96–105°F) discovered by Richard S. Grant in 1910 — a 2,200-foot well whose water was once bottled and sold — and its sodium bicarbonate and other minerals were long considered soothing; today you can soak in a clothing-optional pool and add on a massage or body treatment." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
