The Second Annual "Bed & Sled" Trip
Hot Springs
Saturday January 13th, 2001
Burgdorf Hot Springs is located approximately 30 miles (50 km) north of McCall
Its hot springs were discovered by unknown Chinese miners and then settled by young German immigrant Fred C. Burgdorf in the late 1860s. Burgdorf had mined in nearby Warren to the east and turned the area at the hot springs into a resort by 1870.
Following a new mining rush in 1898 at Thunder Gulch, the resort was refurbished and expanded in 1902 by Burgdorf and his new young wife, but later sold off in 1923 which saw it fall into disrepair and neglect for the next 50 years or so.
Luckily for us, renovations and improvements have now made Burgdorf a year-round destination.
