RE: Bailey Bay Hot Springs

In regards to Bailey Bay Hot Springs, my husband and I tried
to hike up to the hot springs last summer. Unfortunately the
trail we found was in a sorry state of disrepair. The rope crossing
the creek was frayed and loose (and dangerous!) and a large landslide
had taken out the entire trail right after the waterfall, ending
our journey since we had no way of circumventing the landslide.
Large parts of the trail was nothing more than mud pits.
We noted the condition and landslide in the log book at the base
of the trail. We would like to know if the landslide was removed
since I would love to see what the rage is all about!
If the landslide has not been removed, then I'm afraid it's too
late for the general public to "save" access to the
hot springs.
