Dirty Socks Spring

Dirty Socks Hot Spring (also known as Dirty Sock or Dirty Sox) is a formerly developed hot spring near Death Valley, Inyo County, California, in the United States. The spring is located near the south edge of Owens Lake, several miles from the small town of Olancha. A sulfur spring, the naturally occurring unpleasant odor may have been compared to smelly socks. The water is also often discolored with algae growth. Another explanation is that the spring was named from the fact miners washed their dirty socks there.
