Hot springs located in the Black Canyon are situated in a narrow slots made of volcanic rock, sometimes only about 12ft wide. The walls are coated in salt and calcium that precipitate from the hot springs and give the canyon a lively texture. For most of our guests, this trip is unlike anything they have ever done.
