## About Terteling Hot Springs

Terteling Hot Springs sits on the edge of the Boise metro area, under four miles from Garden City in Ada County, roughly a hundred feet off a road. The water is soaking warm, a bit over a hundred degrees. There is no land owner or access status on file, and for a spring this close to a city assume nothing about being allowed to visit until you know.

Low elevation, a bit over 3,000 feet, in a mild climate: under thirty inches of snow and about seventeen of precipitation. The yearly average is in the low fifties. Road to spring is about a hundred feet. Neither a road name nor a land unit is recorded, and no fee is noted, which says nothing either way about private ground.

The best season on record is winter. Shafer Butte campground is ten miles off. No USGS sample is attached, so the temperature figure has no date or source on it. Ownership and access are unknown; find out before going. No fee is listed.
