Boat Box Hot Spring
This hot spring sits right on the Salmon river and flows into what appears to be an old mining cauldron. There’s room for a couple of people in the cauldron. While the water running down the pipes and into the unit is scalding, there’s usually a white bucket next to the cauldron that can be used to transport cold river water into it. Directions: From the “T” in Stanley, head north up State Highway 75 for about three and a half miles. You’ll pass through Lower Stanley and by a few campgrounds before you reach the small pull-off on the right side of the road. The pull-off can only fit two or three cars and is easy to miss, so be on the lookout for steam rising from the river area. 10 minutes from wedding venue
