## About Grapevine Springs

Grapevine Springs is a warm spring in Death Valley National Park, reached by roughly 1.5 miles of walking from Ubehebe Crater Road. The record files it under Nye County with Beatty as the nearest town. The water is about body temperature, soaking warm, and access is open on National Park Service land.

Ubehebe Crater Road is the jumping-off point; from there the record shows one and a half miles on foot. The spring sits at low to mid elevation on park land, where around seven inches of rain fall annually and snow is light. The yearly average runs warm.

Winter, December through February, is the season on record. A national park means park rules on soaking and on camping; no campground is listed near this spring, so plan that separately. The water is about body temperature, fine to touch. A USGS site is recorded here. Fees are not noted for the spring itself.
