Burgdorf Hot Springs

Burgdorf Springs were developed in the 1870s mining era as a soaking stop for the mining camps; the log pavilions and cabins were built around the pools by the Burgdorf family and later operators, and the resort ran continuously through the 20th century. The site passed to caretakers preserving its rustic character — no road past the last miles, cabins by reservation, and the pools drained and scrubbed each day; winter access is by snowmobile over the groomed trail from McCall’s backcountry, keeping the hot springs one of Idaho’s classic remote soaks. Burgdorf was developed in the 1870s mining era as a soaking stop for the mining camps, and the log pavilions and cabins around the 108–116-degree pools have run continuously since; the resort is reached by a 30-mile forest road north of McCall, and winter access is by snowmobile over the groomed backcountry trail.
