Alexander Ross and his Hudsons Bay Company fur trappers were the first white men to visit these hot springs. His dairy describes camping "at the boiling fountain" when they came here on October 1, 1824.

Hot springs result when hot water reached the earth's surface along fault lines. Superheated water takes sulfur into solution along its way to the surface. The sulfur mixes with hydrogen producing the "rotten egg" smell so common to hot springs.
