Hot springs near Summer Bay, a few hundred yards off Overland Drive and about five miles from Unalaska. The ground is tribal land within the Unalaska Alaska Native village statistical area, and nobody has recorded an access status. The water is listed as hot, without a measured figure. The elevation on file is modest.

Location

Two tenths of a mile from the road, a few hundred feet above the bay. Unalaska's weather is cool and wet, with a sizable snow figure for the winter months. No land unit appears beyond the tribal listing. No facilities are recorded, and there is no distance given to any cabin or campground. The road name is the one firm detail.

Nobody has named a best month. The ground is tribal and permission is not on record, so ask in Unalaska and go by the answer you get. Temperature was never taken. Hot might mean pleasant, or it might mean a burn. Nothing is recorded about fees or camping either.

Terrain

USGS hasn't flown a detailed laser scan here yet, so this view comes from aerial photos and older elevation data.
