Pah Tempe Hot Springs.. “Healing Water”
We recently took a journey… 5 minutes down to the road…to our local hot spring. It’s called Pah Tempe, which means…the “Healing Water“..in Paiute. It’s owned and cared for by a very kind family who deeply honor the Native American and early immigrant settlers who came to heal from these waters. They live here full time growing their own food and caring for these sacred waters and the surrounding land.
We express our deepest gratitude to this family..for their life’s work..and to those who passed before them…who treated this place sacredly.
For more information, or to make a reservation, phone them at:

This is a very special place, you’ll love it!
Here’s a little photo tour and video of our adventure!
Pah Tempe Hot Springs, also known as La Verkin or Dixie Hot Springs, are located along the Virgin River near where the river cuts through Timpoweap Canyon along the Hurricane Cliffs between the towns of Hurricane and La Verkin.
The springs issue at about 42°C (108°F) from multiple vents in fractured limestone. Widespread basalt flows ranging in age from 2 million years to 1,000 years old lie in the vicinity of the springs, possibly relating to local heat sources for the thermal water. (source)
