Blaney Meadows Hot Springs
Blaney Meadows Hot Springs belongs to the Sierra National Forest side of Mono County, with Mammoth Lakes the nearest town at about twenty-eight miles. The recorded temperature is hot, at the upper edge of what most people will sit in. Access is open to the public and the ground is Forest Service.
High country at close to seventy-seven hundred feet. The nearest road has no name on file and is a short walk away, around two tenths of a mile. Snow is the defining fact: over seventeen feet in an average winter, with precipitation near three feet a year. That much snow sets the calendar here.
The months listed as best are December through February, which collides with seventeen feet of snow; in practice the season for reaching it is whatever the snowpack allows. Jackass Meadow campground lies about five and a half miles distant. Hot enough that easing in slowly makes sense. Nothing on file about a fee.
