## About Deniktow Ridge Hot Springs

Deniktow Ridge Hot Springs is a thermal point in North Slope Borough with a hot qualifier and no measured temperature on file. The record gives Barrow as the nearest town without a distance worth quoting. Land ownership and public access are both unrecorded. Nothing about a pool or any development appears on file.

Eleven Mile Landing Strip Road is the nearest drivable thing on record, nearly thirteen miles away, which makes this a backcountry objective. It sits low, under four hundred feet. Cold, with around four feet of snow each year and not much precipitation otherwise. Nor is there a campground on record.

No best months are on file. Without a temperature you cannot plan a soak, and without access information you cannot assume you may go. Start by confirming both. Count on a long overland approach from the landing strip road.
