Hot Spring Pools

This is what is left of the Pan Hot Springs Hotel in Big Bear City. It was built in 1924 and burned to the ground 9 years later. All that was left of the hotel was these two naturally heated mineral hot springs pools. They eventually reopened and became swimming pools for the locals of Big Bear City until the June 1992 Big Bear earthquake, forcing their closure due to extensive damage. During the time I lived in Big Bear there was always talk about reopening the pools, I guess it just hasn't happened yet. Right next to this site a large church has now been built.
