## About Burgdorf Hot Springs

Burgdorf Hot Springs lies in Valley County, 27 miles out of McCall, at over six thousand feet. The water comes out at 113, hot but at the lower edge of hot, the kind of temperature a body can take for a while. The record does not list a land owner or say if the public is welcome. Upper Payette Lake Campground is about twelve miles away.

High country, and cold. The annual average temperature is below 40 and the snow piles up to something like fourteen feet over a winter. The spring sits practically on the road, about fifty feet off, though the road itself goes unnamed on file. Precipitation is high and the winters run long.

December through February are listed as the best months, and at this elevation with this much snow you should find out whether the road is plowed before believing it. No water chemistry is on file, which means the temperature reading is the only measurement you have, and no sample date comes with it. Access status is blank, so confirm it. There is a picture on record.
