## About Hot Springs

An unadorned Hot Springs on the map in Shasta County, near Pit River Canyon Road and about twenty-two miles from Burney. The record tags it hot with no measured temperature, so nothing here can tell you if a soak is possible. Nothing is entered for land owner or for access, and no image is on file.

Pit River Canyon Road lies a few hundred feet away; that is the whole walk. Elevation is a little above three thousand feet. Annual snow is moderate and rainfall middling. The record names no land unit, so its land status is unknown. Pit River Campground sits about twelve miles off.

No best-months figure exists for this one. With no temperature on file, do not assume the water can be entered; it is logged as hot, and that label covers a wide range. Pit River Campground is the camping on record. Confirm ownership before walking in from the road, and expect to find out most of what matters on the ground.
