Unnamed Thermal Spring
This is an unnamed warm spring on BLM land outside Big Pine, Inyo County, about seven miles from town. The water measures 84 degrees, which is tepid, bath water that has been sitting a while. Reaching it means a hike of a little over a mile from the nearest road. The Bishop Field Office manages the ground and lists it open.
There is no road name on file; the record gives a distance only, roughly 1.1 miles on foot from wherever the driving ends. At around four thousand feet, with ten inches of moisture a year and a couple feet of snow in winter, this is dry country. Public land under the BLM, designated as such.
Winter is the season on record, December into February. Cedar Flat Group Campground is the nearest camping on file, around seven miles away, and as the name says it is a group site. Nothing on file about a fee or water chemistry. Allow time for the mile-plus walk in.
