Cove Creek Hot Springs — photo spot in Stanley, ID 83278, USA
Cove Creek Hot Springs
Small, undeveloped alpine hot springs on a forested creek near Stanley with pool terraces, steaming water and Sawtooth peaks in the background. Shoot steam against backlight at sunrise or in cold weather for atmosphere. Access is on a rough forest road — high-clearance or 4WD recommended; limited roadside parking. No formal facilities; respect privacy and local customs. Summer evenings and winter snow offer very different looks; weekdays and early mornings are least crowded.
