This is the site of a hot springs which was known to the native americans in the area and then became a hotel in the late 19th and early 20th century for people to bath in the hot springs. It is near the old Butterfield Overland stage route. Many of the early pioneers like Woolsey came up through this way.
View of the ruins of the older town at the bottom of the wash.

View of Woolsey Peak and the cooling towers of the Palo Verde nuclear power plant which is west of Phoenix.
