## About Warm Springs (Moffat County, Colorado)

The name says Moffat County and the record files it under Rio Blanco County. Either way this is a thermal point inside Dinosaur National Monument, on National Park Service land, with Rangely the closest town at thirty-odd miles. No temperature is recorded. Water chemistry from a 1983 sample runs alkaline with low dissolved solids. Access is open, subject to the monument's rules.

Dry country. Annual precipitation comes in around a foot and snowfall a few feet. The average temperature is mild for Colorado. You reach the spring on foot, a little over a mile from the nearest road. Echo Park Campground sits about three and a half miles away, the natural base if you are already in that corner of the monument.

National monument rules apply. Echo Park is the listed campground. No best months appear in the record because no temperature does. Do not count on warm water. The 1983 sample is the only chemistry on file and it says nothing about heat. The walk in is over a mile each way on Park Service ground.
