In the 20’s and 30’s Jacumba’s hot springs resort was the “in” place for movie stars and other celebrities. In later years it became a rundown relic. During the late 70’s, the spa burned down and a few years later the historic Jacumba Hotel was also destroyed by fire.

Traveling eastward, the railroad heads into Carrizo Gorge from here.

I’ll post more as time permits. Last updated March 6, 2008.
