You will have to hike 2.7 miles to get to the springs themselves. Drakesbad Guest Ranch, at the trailhead, rents rooms, but reservations must be made ahead of time. There are several campgrounds in the area. At Drakesbad Ranch you will see the trailhead for the Pacific Crest Trail . Hike south on the trail, following signs to Great Boiling Lake and Terminal Geyser.
