## About Warm Spring

Mono County's Warm Spring sits about six miles from Bridgeport at nearly 7,700 feet. The USGS sampled it in the fall of 2011 and logged 77 degrees, tepid. No owner or access note is on record, and no second name has attached itself to it. Bridgeport is as close as towns get here, per the record, and a USGS site number is the spring's only other identity.

A walk of a few hundred yards from an unnamed road. This is cold country: average temperature in the low forties and close to six feet of snow each winter, with summers short and dry. Crags Campground, some ten miles distant, is the nearest on file. Nothing on file describes the ground around the outlet.

The record lists the three winter months as best. Those are deep-snow months at this elevation, so a winter visit means snow travel. No fee recorded. Access unknown. The temperature reading is from a 2011 sample, recent as these things go. Tepid water at this altitude is something to look at.
