EspañolTASSAJARA HOT SPRINGS
'Tassajara Hot Springs', also known as 'Tassajara Springs', 'Tesahara Springs' and 'Agua Caliente', is a location in the Ventana Wilderness[1] area of the Santa Lucia Mountains in Monterey County, California. The site is currently owned by the San Francisco Zen Center, which purchased it for the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center from Robert and Anna Beck[2] in 1966.
The name "Tassajara" is derived from an indigenous Esselen language word meaning "place where meat is hung to dry."[3]
The area experienced a brief silver rush in the 1860s.[4]
The first road to the Tassajara Hot Springs was constructed in the late 1880s.[5]
