"S/He who believes that enough is enough
will always have enough." Lao Tzu
Greetings,
We'd like to introduce you to El Dorado, the rustic spa we're
building over a natural subterranean hot spring of odorless, taste-
less mineral water. As nearly as possible, El Dorado offers a
genuine desert hot spring soaking adventure, but with amenities, in
a verdant and simple desert oasis. Practiced and enjoyed for many
millennia, hot mineral water soaking is one of the oldest forms of
natural therapy.
Therapeutic massage, reflexology, and aromatherapy are available
by appointment.
Stone Meditation Circle is done. The first building is up; heated
by spring water flowing under the floor, it will house the first
indoor hot baths, more mineral water showers, an office, and
a toilet. Shade cloth slides over the outdoor tubs, misting systems
are in place, and cool tubs are available so soaking is comfortable
when the sun is hot.
Make plans now for El Dorado's Third Annual Winter Solstice
Celebration, December 18-20, 1998, three days of bonding, letting
go of the past, and returning to your future.
A million miles from Monday, El Dorado is the home of the one
hour mineral water shower, a place where the hot water never runs
out. Compliments of Mother Earth, the waters are like an elixir
that's akin to bathing in liquid silk.
El Dorado has a couple of hookups and the septic system is
completed, including an RV dump; we accommodate RV's or tents for
overnight stays. Campfires encouraged; free firewood while the
supply lasts. You can fill your tank from the deep spring.
There's a phone line for guests for personal calls and email.
Take the break you deserve by visiting El Dorado for a natural
mineral water soak. Envision basking in a large open air private
bath where you can make the water cooler in hot weather and hotter
in cool weather. Imagine gazing at the stars under crystal clear
skies or just being alone with yourself.
Soaking is $15 per day per adult for a semi-private area in a
designated tank. For private enclosures, soaking is $7.50 per hour
per adult. The one Hour Fly By Special is $5 per adult. Half
price for children under 16. Membership isn't needed at El Dorado
--visit as often as you like. Frequent Soaker Discounts available.
Bring a jug or two and take home some pure El Dorado spring water.
For people staying overnight, it's $5 with no hookup or $10 with
electric.
Hours: 9am-9pm; other times by appointment.
More hot mineral water baths are under construction. Nearby is
Alice's Restaurant, a motel, an RV park that welcomes pets, mega
acres of BLM land for free camping, biking, hiking, 4 wheeling,
petroglyph and wildlife viewing, rock hounding, etc. There's much
land for sale in the vicinity for as little as $800 an acre.
El Dorado Hot Spring offers common areas free of tobacco and
alcohol. Discrete smoking or drinking in private tubs or your
campsite or vehicle only. No dogs please.
El Dorado's 6.7 acres are in Tonopah (Indian for "hot water
under the bush"), 40 miles West of Phoenix, near I-10 on a paved
road with most services close by. We deliver meals from Alice's
Restaurant right to you at the hot spring.
At El Dorado, Mother Sun is our clock and peace, quiet, and the
utmost respect for the space of others abounds. The main Saturday
night activity might be constellation study under crystal clear
skies, quiet conversation, or restful relaxation in a large hot bath.
After greeting Mother Sun, Sunday might bring discussions of Native
Americana, meditation, or just simple quiet time enjoying Bach,
Debussy, The Eagles, Kitaro, Shostakovich, or Strauss.
Or... nothing.
Tonopah once was home to at least five hot mineral water spas.
Two of these historic sites border El Dorado, including the last
one to operate which was owned by a local legend, Tonopah Doc Gear.
"The wilderness and the desert shall be glad and
shall rejoice and blossom as the rose."
We welcome all responsible people and look forward to your
visit. The water is always warm at El Dorado.
DIRECTIONS TO EL DORADO HOT SPRING: 623-393-0750
Forty miles West of Phoenix, Arizona or seventy-five miles East
of Quartzsite, leave I-10 at Tonopah--Exit 94; go South on 411th

Northwest corner of 411th and Indian School Road.
On the Southwest corner is Alice's Restaurant & Tonopah Joe's
Truck Stop (Great food!). Turn right on Indian School Road and go
760 FEET West, 1.5 TENTHS of a mile. El Dorado is on the Left
(South) side of the road at number 41225. You're home.
