Baño Grande & Baño de Oro

Baño Grande, a former swimming hole built during the Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps, lies across Hwy 191 from the Palo Colorado Information Center. About 50yd up the road, Baño de Oro – "golden bath" in Spanish – is another former swimming hole that is now a popular spot for photo ops.
