Why are there no hot springs closer to Coeur d'Alene?
The Idaho panhandle sits on a granitic batholith that lacks the faulting and volcanic activity needed to produce hot springs. The geothermal systems in western Montana begin along the Clark Fork and Flathead valleys where ancient faulting brings heated water to the surface, roughly 100 miles east of the panhandle.
