About Virgin Valley
Virgin Valley straddles the border of Nevada and Arizona, offering a serene hot spring experience along the Virgin River. The water flows at a soothing 90°F, creating a warm oasis surrounded by rugged desert landscapes. This hybrid hot spring blends approachable access with a natural, tranquil atmosphere that sets it apart from other hot springs in Nevada.
Getting There
Reaching Virgin Valley involves a moderate hike ranging from 15 to 60 minutes, depending on your chosen trailhead. Parking is limited, so arriving early increases your chances of securing a spot. The path leads you through desert terrain and gentle elevation changes, rewarding you with a calming swim area at the end.
What to Expect
The hot spring pools here are naturally formed with clear, comfortably warm water ideal for year-round soaking. Expect a quiet, peaceful environment, especially on weekdays, with only light foot traffic during busy weekends. Facilities are minimal — there are no developed amenities, so you’ll enjoy a raw connection with Nevada’s wild swimming holes.
Tips for Visitors
Visit Virgin Valley during cooler months or early mornings to avoid potential crowds and the desert heat. Bring sturdy shoes for the hike and plenty of water to stay hydrated. There’s no entry fee, but pack out all trash and respect the delicate desert ecosystem to preserve this natural retreat.
