Sulphur Spring, Salt Spring
Sulphur Spring and Salt Spring flow together at 75°F in Glenn County, their combined discharge reaching 12 degrees above the ambient 63°F in the oak woodlands east of the Sacramento Valley.
The springs emerge at 1,167 feet elevation in a gentle landscape of golden grasslands and scattered oak trees, accessible via a moderate half-mile walk from the nearest road through open terrain.
These springs form in the geologically active foothills where volcanic and mineral-rich groundwater rises to the surface, their names reflecting distinct mineral compositions contributing to their therapeutic reputation.
The half-mile approach makes this a moderate day hike. Fall and spring offer the most comfortable hiking conditions. North Fork Campground in Mendocino National Forest sits 11 kilometers away and offers full facilities.
