An early photo of Orr Hot Springs. This and later buildings burned in the 1890s. There have also been other fires at the site over the years, including one in 1938, but the business continues in operation today. (Contributed – courtesy of Ed Bold)ORR’S SPRINGS. A correspondent writes to us that in a recent trip to these springs over the new road he found much of the scenery to be grand and especially enjoyable through the timberlands at the summit of the mountains, which richly pays for the fatigue and exposure to the searching rays of the sun. He came to the conclusion there was the finest opportunity for the stage to roll over the grade and kill the passengers of any place in California, for there are no “turnouts” or provisions made for meeting teams on the steep grades, and thinks the road should not be accepted until such contingencies are provided for, when it will become a favorite drive for pleasure seekers and offer safety to them whose business calls them over the mountains. We endorse his views. More turnouts are needed on all our mountain roads, and this is especially true of the new Orr’s Hot Springs road.
