## About Hot Sulphur (Miracle Hot) Springs

Two names are attached to this spring, Hot Sulphur Springs and Miracle Hot Springs. It is in Twin Falls County about eight miles from Buhl. The water is hot, well above anything you would soak in straight from the ground. Neither the land owner nor the access status appears in our records. No campground is listed nearby.

Low and dry: under three thousand feet, eleven inches of precipitation and about a foot of snow a year. Roughly 350 yards separate it from the closest road. Which one, and who owns the ground, we do not know. No land unit is attached to it in our data either, so there is no obvious agency to ask.

Midwinter is the driest stretch and there is little snow to worry about. The water is hot enough to need cooling before contact, so check it with a hand first. Access status is blank in the record; find out before you go. The chemistry is from a 1979 survey.
