Hot Creek Geologic Site near Mammoth Lakes, California. There are boiling hot springs in and around the riverbed due to the seismic activity in the Long Valley Caldera.

Didn’t know about True Grit, will have to watch it again. It’s a beautiful part of the state, hope I can get back up there sometime soon.
