Always research road conditions, and if the hot springs are still open, before you hit the road. Even with all the great online sources, books are still a great thing to have, especially when you're on the road or hiking in the boonies!
Please support this otherwise unfunded public directory by buying your books through this website.

Worst thing about Furnace Creek is that they've got this beautiful pool with a view across Death Valley that's spring fed, by a HOT spring. I jumped in it one time after a hot day of hiking and nearly barfed.

If Furnace Creek's owners dropped their extremely high rates, they'd get more local business. They're greed-heads in the worst way.

I suspect (but don't actually know) that the rates are set by the National Park Service. I wrote a story once about how the exorbitant rates were arrived at for the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite, and it involved a complex comparison with, of all places, the Valencia in La Jolla and if I recall correctly, the Santa Barbara Biltmore. The Furnace Creek Inn has no competition at the high-end within about 100 miles, but the last time I sent friends there, they complained it felt dated and not well kept up.
