Take Idaho 22 out of Cascade on 25 miles of good paved road with gentle grade toward Warm Lake (sound good?). Crossing the South Fork of the Salmon River, turn right on Forest Road 474 (ed. note: closed in winter). About 1.2 miles south notice a pulloff and a sign about fishing. A little trail leads to the river and Molly’s Hot Spring. A little soaking pool by the river is supplemented by a pair of bathtubs and a plastic hose stuck in the water vents. There is also a bucket, which you will realize the need for if you jump into the uncooled water from the tap. Deluxe camping right there on a little island. A truly pristine site — please take care of this one. 5 stars.
