Can you soak at Hot Springs East Of Diamond?
USGS lists Hot Springs East Of Diamond as a warm spring, with no temperature on record. It sits deep in the backcountry. It's on National Park Service land. We haven't confirmed whether it has a pool or charges a fee.
Warm springs in the Denali National Park backcountry, east of a place called Diamond, in the Denali Borough. Healy is the closest town the listing gives, somewhere around fifty miles distant. Access is open. No temperature and no elevation appear anywhere in the record, and warm in these listings means short of hot, so a soak is not something to promise yourself.
Roughly fifteen miles separate it from the nearest road, in park country. The climate here is drier than the coast, with light precipitation and a moderate snow total, and an average year that runs below freezing. The land is National Park Service ground. Nothing else is on file, no trail and no cabin. You would be working from the map.
No best months recorded. Denali backcountry rules apply; talk to the park before any trip. The warm designation comes without a number, so treat the spring as a curiosity on a longer route and nothing to plan a soak around. Nothing is listed for a fee or a campground.
USGS hasn't flown a detailed laser scan here yet, so this view comes from aerial photos and older elevation data.
