This natural springs is made up of several small pools in a wooded wilderness venue. A magical little water fall of near boiling hot water flows out of the steep vertical bank of Sloquet Creek and flows into two petite, two man pools, and down stream is the larger but shallow lower "pool" like a typical creek bed but hot. The waters of the upper two pools and the water fall may be too hot for bathing. Use extreme caution.

Supernatant liquid is a layer of light pure cool water that can float on top of the denser hot mineral-rich hot springs outflow. Don't test by dipping toes or fingers into the upper pools. The hot fluids below may be hot enough to scald and make second and third degree burns. Before jumping in test the temperature by dipping a bottle on a lanyard or long handled pot. The third big pool down the creek bed is usually in the "Goldilocks Zone" and many people find its temperature to be comfortable.

An adjacent glacier-fed river provides opportunities for Roman or Turkish style bathing, of alternating hot and cold dips.

Camping is available at the site, but there are limited services.

Unleaded gas and diesel are available from the gas station in Tipella at regular pump prices.
