## About Antelope Spring

Antelope Spring is a warm spring in Creede, Mineral County, Colorado; the record puts it at zero miles from town. The water is warm, a touch below a hot bath, the sort of thing you sit in for a while on a cold day. At close to nine thousand feet it is high country, and the USGS tracks it as a thermal site. Access status is not recorded.

A road passes within a few hundred feet, though the file does not name it, so it is a pull-off right in Creede. Winter is heavy; the record shows close to seven feet of snow a year, and the yearly average temperature is below forty. Rain is moderate. Ownership and land unit are not given.

Winter is the season on record, which for a warm spring at this altitude means the water will feel good but getting there may mean snow. Roadside. Marshall Park, about four miles away, is the campground the record names. Fee: none recorded. Water chemistry: none. Access is not recorded, so find out who controls the ground.
