## About Spring

Listed under the plain name Spring, this one sits on San Carlos Reservation ground about fifteen miles from Peridot. Tepid water, warm enough to feel it. Road 600 is the nearest road, with the spring roughly 2,000 feet off it. Access is listed as unknown because the land is tribal.

A bit over three thousand feet. Rainfall runs to fourteen inches a year, and snow is light. The approach is a walk from Road 600, across tribal land with no public designation. Kellner Group Campground is about fifteen miles away, which is a fair drive for a tepid spring.

Permission from the reservation comes first. Best months are December through February. Camping is at Kellner Group, fifteen miles or so. No water chemistry and no USGS site are on file, so the temperature is the only measurement, and it is a warm one, no more. There is a photo on file, which helps with knowing what you are looking for.
