Jerry Johnson is a beautiful natural Hotsprings near the Idaho-Montana border. About 1.5 hours from Missoula, MT & about 3 hours from Lewiston, ID. Scenic, easy 30 minute hike to the first pool. The first pool is down a steep hill & has a beautiful waterfall. If you continue you’ll come across a bigger pool up by the trail with some small ones near the riverbank. There are more if you continue on but I have yet to make it that far! If you go during the winter, check for road closures and beware of ice.
