Tolovana Hot Springs

Located south of the Elliott Highway in interior Alaska, Tolovana Hot Springs is the most remote of the "big 4" hot springs in the region. A private air strip has recently been cleared, and there is no road access. Besides the air strip, Tolovana Hot Springs is accessible through three trails, two of which are only usable in winter
