Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs, Nevada

The camping ground is in the desert near the border between the state of Nevada and California.

The amount of the hot springs water is so huge that makes a koi pond.

Balneario Municipal de Tonatico, Mexico

It is a kind of devastating experience to see many people soaking in a pool fed by the rich brownish water.

What drives Mexican people to dip in hot springs eagerly?

Verde Hot Springs, Arizona

I have not seen such a weird and beautiful place.

A quint hotel that started their business in the 1920s was burned down a long time ago; the ruin had to be known as a hideaway of nudists, which remains even today in some cases.

On the way I lost my car.

Baños Medicinales del Peñón, Mexico

The hot spring is only 15 minutes’ walk from Mexico City International Airport.

The nearly forgotten spring provides sacred water continuously gushing from the age of Tenochtitlan of the Aztec Empire, which is the precursor of Mexico City.

Hoosier Hot Springs, New Mexico

Truth or Consequences is always quiet.

One day I visited a “new” spa facility opened in 2017.

Alkali Hot Springs, Nevada

The mining city was abandoned after the gold rush went by.

At the ruin of a spa resort nearby, great water is gushing.

Agua Amarilla, Mexico

In February 2019, the New Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador declared an end to his country’s war on drugs, while bloody insurrections continue.

I visited a hot spring in Michoacán, the second drug-producing state in Mexico.
