Thank you for the links. Somewhere along Highway 12 would be the most likely scenario.
It was definitely in Utah. When you started down the paved highway, you had to take switchbacks around these tiny pools that had...white, like calcium deposits and they were aqua. I don't know if they were hot springs or not. I was driving a camper down switchbacks so I could barely enjoy the view. I just remember us saying that we weren't in Kansas anymore. The view out and beyond wasn't totally desert barren, but fairly close to that.
If you were taking switchbacks, chances are it was Shafer Trail and Potash Road. From along the top, you would see the potash mine. There are other smaller pools along Potash road (I have some pics somewhere) with calcium build up and, during the rainy season, water. But none of them are hot springs. Potash Road takes you past the main ponds also.
The other well known switch backs are the Moki Dugway (at Goosenecks State Park) and the Burr Trail (Capitol Reef National Park) but neither really have pools of water that I recall.
