## About Unnamed thermal spring

An unnamed thermal point on San Carlos Reservation land in Gila County, roughly fourteen miles out of Globe. The water reading is body temperature, a soaking warmth. It lies some 1,600 feet from Tulapai Road. Tribal land; access unknown.

Higher than you might expect for soaking water around here, over four thousand feet, with half a foot of snow in a typical winter and fifteen inches of rain. Tulapai Road is the named road; the spring is a short walk past it. The San Carlos Reservation holds the land. Camping on file: Kellner Group Campground, about thirteen miles.

Clear it with the reservation before visiting; this is not public land and access is unrecorded. The listed best months fall in winter. Kellner Group is the nearest camping at about thirteen miles. Nothing beyond the temperature has been measured here, and the name itself is unknown, so expect to find it by coordinates.
