## About Cebolla Hot Springs

Cebolla Hot Springs sits in Hinsdale County, Colorado, about twenty miles from Lake City, up at eighty-one hundred feet. The water is comfortably in soaking range. Public access goes unrecorded and so does the land owner. The USGS sampled the water in 1978 and found it slightly acidic with iron present; it has a site number.

Ten Mile Springs Road passes within about a hundred feet, which makes this a roadside spring. High country. Winters bring upward of five feet of snow and the thermometer averages below forty across the year. Rainfall is moderate. Owner and designation are blank in the file. The record stops at the road; the ground beyond it is not described.

The listed season is winter, and with that much snow the road in is the thing to check. Roadside. Red Bridge Campground is about eight miles out. No fee shows. The water figures are from 1978. Access status is missing, so confirm who owns the land.
