This scenic byway begins at Markleeville and heads south on SR-89 to the junction with SR-4 then continues westward into Calaveras County. The section over Ebbetts Pass is closed during the winter and spring (usually November to May) due to deep snow. Check the Caltrans webpage for SR 4 dot.ca.gov/hq/roadinfo/sr4 before attempting the trip.
Normally, the park's main features are the hot springs which feed into two concrete swimming pools filled with 102°F (39°C) mineral waters, but the pools are closed indefinitely, as of May 2023, due to fire damage sustained in 2021. The park also has hiking and camping.
