Molly's Tubs

We just got back from a camping ATV trip to Warm Lake Idaho. It's about 30 miles east of Cascade. Deep in the forest is a place called Molly's tubs. There is a hot springs there and people have left bath tubs.
There are hoses from the spring that brings hot water into the tubs. It's about the temperature of a hot tub. It was a hot day so we didn't get in even though we did bring suits. The water fills up quickly and the view is great. I don't know how it got it's name.
There's beautiful meadows everywhere. This is a place we would love to go again.
The sad thing is they had a terrible fire up there last year and much of the forest was burned.

You probably can't tell, but these are butterflies. There are thousands of butterflies in the area. Even an ATV ride with the flowers and butterflies can be spectacular and yes the lake is warm compared to the other water areas around.
