About this swimming hole

A primitive hot pool at Granite Falls, about a half-mile downstream of the developed Granite Hot Springs pool in the Gros Ventre Range. The undeveloped pool sits along Granite Creek in a spruce-fir canyon — one of the A River Runs Through It filming spots. Granite Creek Road is a rough dirt drive, and the pool has no services.
