Glen Ivy Hot Springs, in Riverside County, runs far above the comfort line, around what a household water heater is set to. The closest road is a couple hundred yards away. Our data is silent on ownership and on whether visitors are welcome, so that is the thing to settle first. Ignore the nearest town listed for this spring; the figure is bad. Go by county.

Location
11 miles from Lake Elsinore, CA

Inland Southern California, where a dozen inches of rain is a full year and snow does not happen. The nearest road, unnamed in the row, is a short walk away. Falcon Group campground is seven miles off, the closest in our records. No land designation is listed either, so the row says nothing about who controls the ground.

December through February is the record's pick. A brief walk in. Hot water, above 110 by a wide margin, so it needs cooling before anyone gets in; test it. Camping at Falcon Group, seven miles. No fee recorded, no access recorded. Look both up first.
