## About Pescadero Warm Spring

Pescadero Warm Spring is a roadside warm spring in Bear Lake County, about eight miles from Montpelier and only a few dozen yards off Pescadero Road. The water is warm in the literal sense, well below body heat, more like a cool bath than a hot one. Neither the owner of the land nor the access status made it into the record.

Close to six thousand feet, in a part of Idaho that gets around a hundred inches of snow in a winter. The roadside position means no walking to speak of. Emigration Campground is roughly ten miles away. No land unit, no owner entry. That is all the record gives on the ground around it.

the record flags winter as the best season, though water this cool in the middle of that snow season is a niche pleasure. Summer would be kinder. Emigration Campground is the listed camping option. No fee appears. Since ownership is unknown, find out whose land you are standing on before you settle in.
