Weather Forecast

Ram Creek Hot Springs are more remote, less visited, more spectacular, but cooler. Instead of being in the bottom of a canyon, they are high on a mountain shelf with a great view of the surrounding ridges. People usually combine a visit to Ram Creek with one to Lussier, because they are close. The back roads to Ram Creek are rough, and closed in winter, but a 2-wh car can make it in summer. There are MANY potholes, though. Be cautious. Continue past Lussier 2,3 mi and turn right on White-Lussier Road toward Top of the World Park. Stay to the right at major junctions, following Top of the World signs. You'll come to a major junction in 10 mi where you'll turn RIGHT onto White-Ram Forest Road. Then follow this narrow, potholed road for 3 mi to the parking area on the right side of the road. A short, steep trail leads up to the 2 main pools. The large pool is cooler, the small one warmer. Farther up the trail is an even warmer upper pool, and down by the road is a very small almost-hot pool for 1 person. The water is lukewarm compared to Lussier, but there is much more privacy and the views are better. To get back to the highway, keep going down the road about 10 mi until it becomes paved. Turn RIGHT at the junction onto Sheep Creek Rd, and follow it to the main highway.
