The pools are in a wilderness area and are not tested or treated by the park. They may contain harmful bacteria and use of these pools is at you own risk. These springs are only accessible by foot and no pets or bicycles are permitted. Backpackers must follow wilderness camping regulations and acquire a wilderness use permit.

There are no visitor facilites beyond the gate at the parking lot. A bypass trail provides access around the flood damage. Be sure to check road status and trail conditions.
