Check with the National Park Service for updates on reopening. This trail is closed from May until September annually as well.

These hot springs reach 111 degrees at their source but the temperatures do cool as they disperse through the rest of the pools.

BONUS: Pumpkin Spring Pool
It's amazing what you can find in Arizona state parks. A prime example is this viewing-only hot spring.
