## About Stratten Warm Spring

In the USGS thermal inventory for La Plata County there is a point called Stratten Warm Spring, about ten miles from Durango. Temperature and chemistry are both missing from this particular record, so the word warm in the name is all the record has to say about heat. Who owns it, and who may use it, is not on file. OpenStreetMap gives it no label. A Wikipedia page exists without an extract.

Under a hundred feet off the road, roadside by any measure. Elevation is mid. Snow is moderate and so is rain. Junction Creek Campground, about six miles, is what the record lists for camping. Durango, ten miles off, is the town on record. No land unit or owner is attached.

Best months: none given. Nothing in the record establishes water temperature, so any soak is speculation until someone measures it. Junction Creek Campground, six miles. Check land status before visiting, since the owner is unrecorded. Winter brings a few feet of snow, enough to matter.
