## About Apex Warm Spring

A warm spring outside Dillon in Beaverhead County, roughly fourteen miles from town. Apex Warm Spring earns the word warm and nothing more; the water is tepid, bath-cool, and no one would mistake it for a hot soak. No one has logged a landowner or said whether visitors may come, so the record is thin. No photo exists for it yet.

School House Road runs within a couple hundred yards, and the last stretch is a short walk. The spring sits at valley elevation, well below the high country, in a dry corner of the state that sees moderate snow most winters.

The three winter months get the nod as the better season. Snow here is modest compared with the mountains, so that window is plausible. Birch Creek Cabin, about eight miles off, is the only camp the record turns up. There is no water chemistry on file and no confirmed access, so assume private ground and ask locally before walking in.
