Embark on an extraordinary full-day adventure to Arizona Hot Springs and the Colorado River, guided by Adventure Child experts. This hike blends physical challenge, natural beauty, and wellness, creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Your journey begins at Hemenway Park, overlooking Boulder City, NV, before descending into dramatic desert canyons toward the hidden Ringbolt Hot Springs in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Along the way, pause at White Rock Canyon Beach and the Ringbolt Overlook for sweeping views of the Colorado River, as your guide shares awe-inspiring stories of the area’s history and geology.
The trail is challenging — steep, winding, and rugged — but rewarding. At the base, climb through a 100+°F geothermal waterfall and soak in mineral-rich hot springs renowned for their magnesium, calcium, sodium, and trace lithium content, offering benefits for muscle recovery, joint mobility, circulation, and stress relief.
After your soak, opt for an exhilarating jump into the icy Colorado River for natural contrast therapy, boosting circulation and amplifying the therapeutic effects of the hot springs. Throughout the hike, your guide ensures safety, hydration, and optimal photo opportunities, capturing 300+ professional photos and videos of your adventure.
This experience is designed for adventurers seeking more than a typical hike — it’s a physical and spiritual journey into one of the Southwest’s most pristine and restorative landscapes.

Know before you go
- People sweat in the hot springs for hours and then sadly have a very dangerous hike on the way back especially if it's hot. If you can do a little scattering you will be fine on this hike. We've taken over a dozen people over 65 years old but it is a difficult hike. Not as hard as our Goldstrike Hike but difficult all the same.
- Please note: your guide brings **two extra bottles of ice-cold water**—and on this hike, that can make all the difference. **Hydrate the night before and the morning of**, and include **electrolytes/salt** to help your body retain water and stay balanced.
