## About Dotsero Warm Springs

Dotsero Warm Springs sits on Bureau of Land Management land in Eagle County, Colorado, about nine miles from Gypsum, under the Colorado River Valley Field Office. Open access, per the record. The water runs a little under bath temperature. USGS sampled it in 1978 and found neutral water with iron.

Seventy-five feet or so from an unnamed road, so you can pull up and walk over. Elevation is a bit over six thousand feet. Winter is heavy, with well over seven feet of snow most winters, and yearly precipitation is moderate. BLM ground without any further designation, and nothing in the file describes the ground between road and water.

The record puts the season in December through February, and given the snowfall a winter visit means checking the road first. Roadside and open. Gypsum Campground is listed about seven miles off. No fee recorded. Chemistry is from 1978. The water is below bath temperature, so in cold weather it will not feel as warm as the name promises.
