Cell Service...

Question

Getting to Burgdorf Hot Springs

Answer

Unfortunately, the city of McCall has decided to do construction on Wagon Wheel Road (the main route around the lake to get to Burgdorf). This means that Wagon Wheel Road will be open during specific windows of time during the week, but should be open the day of the wedding. If it isn't open, there is a detour on the other side of the lake that meets up with the highway that heads north to Burgdorf. Google Maps should recognize this, but there should also be detour signs as well. We suggest planning to arrive early.

Option 1: For those willing to embrace their rustic side Burgdorf has maintained a claw foot bathtub at the outlet of the hot spring pool for approximately 20 years. As long as you use biodegradable shampoo/conditioner/soap...you're good to go. We will mention here that it's not private, so keep your privates covered. Option 2: Make friends with someone staying in McCall...enough said Option 3: It's a rustic setting, so maybe a nice soak and some dry shampoo.
