About the Author

I have been involved in the writing and production, and now the publication, of these books for over fifteen years, having visited a majority of the springs listed in the books. I originally became involved with this labor of love while working with Jayson Loam, the original author of these guide books. I love visiting the springs and working with others to help preserve these precious natural resources. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

First Sentence
The cataclysmic folding and faulting of the earth's crust over millions of years, combined with just the right amount of underground water and earth core magma, has produced a hot surface geothermal flow that often goes on for centuries. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool guide to hot springs April 29 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Photos make this book more valuable than any list of hot springs. Cool Trails recommends this guide for hikers who want to relax in a hot spring at the end of a long hike. Many of the hot springs in the northwest are developed to some degree, and very few of the wild springs are far enough from a road to be considered "hikes." Still, most are located in areas rich in trail hiking opportunities. Covers AK, BC, AB, WA, MT, OR, ID, WY and some other areas of the US.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fitting Tribute to "Mr Hot Springs" Aug 4 2004
By Kevin Killian - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
We all remember Jayson Loam who created the original guides to the hot springs back in the 70s and 80s. Even then he was so spring chicken, but he kept a hale and happy outlook on life based on his habit of immersing himself in the beautiful waters of America's hot springs (and wells). Now that Jayson has passed on to his happy reward--he died about ten years ago, at a great age--the torch has been passed on to a new generation of hot springs watchers and dippers, and Marjorie Gersh-Young has updated Loam's findings with some new material (lots of it) on her own. It's great and so are the photographs that illustrate every location.

My only dispute is, I don't see why Puerto Rico is in the book, it is a great state (or whatever it is) but it is not in the Northwest by any means! I forget what Jayson Loam had to say about including Puerto Rico among the Northwest region (if any). But in general, Gersh-Young does a splendid job of compiling and sharing the healthful habit of hot springs with a wildly enthusiastic crowd. Did you know that the Native Americans believed that hot springs provide "Big Medicine" direct from the Great Spirit? That's only one of a thousand charming facts you'll learn from this new edition of Loam's magnificent classic reference work. It's a bargain at any price!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Dec 20 2008
By Amanda Barragar - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I already had this same book for the Southwestern States so I knew it would be good. It's a very useful book, with very detailed directions and information. This book is a good overall guide to the Northwestern States.
