The rule here

This is a thermal feature to see, not a place to get in the water. The Bureau of Land Management — Burns District puts it this way:

“All Mickey Hot Springs pools are too dangerously hot for soaking.”

Worth knowing: The BLM describes near-boiling water and small, glassy streams that heat to as much as 180 degrees, and notes that the access road ranges from dry and dusty to wet and clay-like.
