I honestly never knew this place existed, but I love a national park, so we drove a few hours to…read moreget here. We came at the perfect time, late in the day in September when the park had emptied out and the weather was cooler. It was almost like a ghost town. There are lots of paths to walk, and I think this place would even be great for someone in a wheelchair since the paths were so nice and smooth. The welcome ranger was a doll and the gift shop was decent. I do wish they had a little movie screening room that shared some history about the place. That would have made the visit even better!! Bathrooms were nice and clean.

We recently visited from Santa Barbara and spent and afternoon fly fishing with Justin and DJ…read more While the water levels were apparently low due to the time of year we all (4 of us) had a great time and learned a lot. 3 of us were novices and 1 had experience. Justin and DJ spent the time going through the basics for the novices while my husband went ahead and started. All equipment and necessary clothing were provided and made the experience so relaxing. I hate being cold so while possible personally I can't imagine standing in the river without the waterproof waders and shoes/booties. Both Justin and DJ were full of helpful tips. I think we all left feeling successful at the end of our 1/2 day excursion and all are looking forward to the next time we can go.

Staff was so much fun, informative and just gave our family the best experience! We had Gusty and Miles as our guides and they were beyond wonderful.

Just a perfect experience. Thank you!!!

**As with all my hot spring reviews, I'm starting this out with a plea/admonition: I get a lot of…read moreguff from hot springs regulars for my "irresponsible" compulsion to share hot springs info with the world -- I guess the old-timers are afraid that the more people know about these places, the worse condition they will end up in. I steadfastly maintain that sharing is caring, and that to hoard these locations is greedy and selfish...so I'm sharing this info here with the request that, if you visit these springs, PLEASE be respectful and PACK OUT YOUR TRASH!!! I've see so many hot springs strewn with gross litter (including human and pet waste) that it really turns my stomach.** Not a bad place to soak after a summer hike at nearby Craters of the Moon Nat'l Monument. The water isn't really hot -- just warm, maybe around 100 -- but it feels good on a hot day! This small, all-natural rock-lined sandy bottomed pool is a little oasis in midst of all the lava beds-- lush vegetation all around, but no trees. You could probably camp here (there are a couple small flat areas by the pools), but it's right next to the highway, so might be kind of noisy. At the time of my visit (mid-July 2015) there was no litter or anything, but apparently this place is heavily used. And because it's right by the highway, swimsuits are recommended.........altho my sister and I did go nekkid, much to the chagrin of the two nice Mormon guys who were also soaking, and who pretty much tucked tail and ran away the minute we got there. Well...that's Idaho for ya!

The guides were the perfect hosts, keeping everyone safe on the river and wanting for nothing in the camp. Props to Wren and Chris as the mother ducks keeping us safe. Tess rules the kitchen with lasagne, New York strips, and salmon dinners. Colin was an excellent oarsman and bartender (wicked recipe on the tequila shot!) Tyler kept everyone organized and brought the Patty's! How in the hell Timmy kept up with this group at almost 80 is beyond comprehension. We enjoyed perfect weather mid June for a 6 day trip, our crew had 3 kids who absolutely thrived on all of the water activities. They can't wait to get back on the river with this group of guides. Way to go canyons crew, we love you all for life! Thank you for letting us be part of your family!

The Redfish Lake was cold, no one was swimming but it was perfect for kayaking & paddle boats. I was happy to have Wi-Fi and clean bathrooms.

Besides the lodge, lots of cabins, a marina, a grill, there was a gift shop. There was a lot of parking.
