Mystic Hot Springs, Monroe, Utah

Mystic Hot Springs sits at 475 East 100 North in Monroe, Utah, a small Sevier County town along the corridor once known as the Old Spanish Trail. The operator describes mineral water leaving the hill near 165°F and cooling as it fills two concrete pools — one about two feet deep under a mineral waterfall arch, the other about four feet — plus five vintage cast-iron bathtubs on the hillside guests call the Hill. Soaking water is usually held between about 99°F and 110°F; the operator states there is no sulfur odor and that the cloudy look comes from minerals, with tubs drained and cleaned several times a day and pools on a bi-weekly clean cycle. The same property offers grassy tent lawns with fire pits, thirty-two pull-through RV sites for rigs up to about forty feet (50/30-amp power year-round; water and sewer April–October), converted vintage buses, a gypsy wagon, and the Old Pine Cabin, with a communal bathhouse of hot showers and flush toilets sized for overnight crowds. Concerts sometimes use the Hill as an outdoor stage. Bookings for soaks and stays run through the operator’s FareHarbor system and are listed as non-refundable.
