Hot Springs East Of Cold Bay is a thermal spring in Aleutians East Borough, under a mile beyond where an old Army jeep trail ends. The water runs hot, above soaking comfort, and the reading came from a survey the record does not date. Ownership and access status are blank in the record. Sand Point, the closest town listed, is close to eighty miles away.
Several hundred feet above tidewater, and under a mile on foot from the jeep trail the Army built during the war. Cold Bay is the landmark in the name. Cool year round, heavy snow in winter, rain the rest of the time. No land unit or owner is attached to the spot.
The recorded best window runs January through March. Hot water; test and cool it. No land owner is listed and no access flag, so the ground could be anyone's. Check before you go. Nothing is recorded about camping or fees.
USGS hasn't flown a detailed laser scan here yet, so this view comes from aerial photos and older elevation data.
