Wilbur Hot Springs
A historic, off-the-grid, solar-powered mineral hot springs resort in Northern California, Wilbur Hot Springs was established in the late 19th century. It is located in the town of Williams, which is about two and a half hours from San Francisco and about 90 minutes by vehicle from Sacramento. In Japanese-style onsen buildings, some of which are clothing-optional, the hot springs are enjoyed. A spring-fed and spring-heated swimming pool as well as a dry sauna are also present. Even a geyser is located there (for viewing, not for bathing).
In addition to the hot springs, which are open both day and night, there are yoga courses, holistic activities, guest chefs, and other food-related events. There are several massage and therapeutic options available. There are no cell phones permitted in the resort's public areas, making it a digital-free zone.
You bathe in flumes as the mineral-rich water rushes around you at one of three heat levels from the hot springs, which are naturally heated. A spring-fed pool, an outdoor flume, and a dry sauna are all available. Jump into the chilly plunge, which is a converted historic bathtub, after using the hot sauna and all the hot springs.
Beyond the water, Wilbur Hot Springs, one of the best hot springs in California, is a place of natural refuge and a hub for enlightenment. They provide several self-development programs in addition to yoga and healing. The region is also a part of a 1,800-acre natural park, so you may go trekking (or mountain biking) there to purify your spirit.
