About this spot
Gold Strike Hot Springs sits in a Colorado River canyon below Hoover Dam near Boulder City, reached by a strenuous rope-assisted hike or by kayak. Hot-spring pools and deep river spots draw swimmers and jumpers; the trail closes in summer heat.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
