## About Anaconda Hot Springs

Anaconda Hot Springs runs tepid, whatever the name says, a few degrees under warm bathwater. It is in Deer Lodge County, Montana, 8.5 miles from Anaconda. The only chemistry on file is a dissolved solids figure from 1997. Nothing is recorded about ownership, and access is blank too. There is a photo.

You park and walk a few hundred feet; no road name is on file. The spring sits high in a valley where about seven feet of snow piles up each winter, and precipitation over the year is moderate. High Rye Cabin, the nearest camping we have, is roughly nine miles off.

The listed months fall in winter. With that much snow the short walk could mean postholing, and no one has noted plowing. Access and ownership are unknown. The 1997 sample gave only a dissolved solids number, with no pH and no breakdown of minerals. No fee figure exists in the record.
