Lolo Hot Springs was well known to the Native Americans long before the arrival of Lewis and Clark, who were the first American citizens to reach the Lolo Pass area of western Montana in the fall of 1805. The hot, mineralized springs became a landmark and rendezvous point for other early explorers, trappers and prospectors.. The springs are located just north of Highway 12 and there are currently two public pools using the water.
