## About Castle Hot Springs (Arizona)

The record holds a second entry under the Castle Hot Springs name in Yavapai County, this one placed almost on the road, with Black Canyon City about fifteen miles off. No temperature is attached to this record, so use the resort's own word on how hot the water runs. The USGS carries the point with a 1979 chemistry that reads slightly alkaline with sodium and sulfate among the minerals. Landowner and access are both blank.

Roadside. The closest road passes about two hundred feet away, though its name is not on file. Low desert in the Hieroglyphic Mountains, where snow is a rumor and the temperature averages in the low seventies across the year. Rain is scant. Horsethief Cabin, about thirteen miles away, is the only camp shown, and nothing sits closer.

The resort holds National Register status and, per Wikipedia, has lately been restored. The water chemistry on file dates to a June 1979 sample.

No best months are given on this record. The approach is a few steps from the road. Since this is a resort property, expect the operator to control entry and plan to ask first. The water has no temperature on file, so do not assume a soak. Horsethief Cabin is the single overnight listing. Nothing on fees.
