## About Alameda Warm Springs

Alameda Warm Springs lies inside Mission Peak Regional Preserve, about five miles from Milpitas in Santa Clara County. A warm spring on park land close to a city. The water is around eighty degrees, warm on the skin and not a soak in any hot-spring sense. Access is listed as open and the land is city-owned preserve, which leaves nothing between you and it except a few hundred feet of walking.

Under five hundred feet of elevation, a few hundred feet of walking from the nearest road, on preserve land owned by a city. Snow does not fall here. Rain is about twenty inches a year. Mission Peak Regional Preserve is the land unit; fee and campground are both blank. Open access on managed park land is the main thing the record establishes.

Winter scores highest on the climate numbers, though with no snow and a mild year the spring is reachable in any season. Camping is not part of the picture; this is a day visit from the city. Nothing is charged, as far as the record shows. The water is warm, no more than that.
