About Sulphurdale
Sulphurdale offers a quiet encounter with warm geothermal waters set against the rugged terrain of Utah. This warm spring stands out with its striking sulfur deposits that color the landscape and hint at the earth’s underground activity. The 72°F water invites slow soaking, surrounded by an environment rich in natural history and subtle aromas of sulfur.
Getting There
Access to Sulphurdale requires navigating unimproved roads, best suited for high-clearance vehicles. There is no formal parking lot, so you’ll park roadside and hike a short distance over uneven ground to reach the spring. This primitive approach means you should prepare for a bit of rough terrain and carry your gear with care.
What to Expect
You’ll find a modest, shallow pool with steadily warm water, framed by streaks of yellow sulfur deposits. The atmosphere is quiet and reflective, away from busy recreation areas. Expect no amenities—no changing rooms or restrooms—making it a raw, authentic soak that connects you directly to Utah’s geothermal landscape.
Tips for Visitors
Visit during cooler parts of the day to enjoy the warmth of the spring without intense sun exposure. Bring plenty of water and footwear suited for rocky ground. Since Sulphurdale is on public land with no entrance fees, pack out all trash and respect the fragile environment to preserve this unique site among Utah swimming holes.
