## About Beaverhead Rock Spring

Beaverhead Rock Spring sits right beside a road in Beaverhead County, fifteen miles or so from Dillon. It runs warm, about what you would call lukewarm in a tub. The land underneath carries no recorded owner, and access is an open question. Treat it as a point on the map, since nobody has confirmed it as a soak.

You can nearly touch it from the roadway; the record puts it under fifty feet from the road. The spring lies at low valley elevation in one of the drier corners of southwestern Montana, where winter snow is light and summers are dry. Which road, nobody wrote down.

Roadside access means no walking. The record favors December through February, and with the light snowfall here a winter stop is realistic. The nearest camp, Birch Creek Cabin, is nearly twenty miles away. Survey date and chemistry are both missing, as is the owner. Ask around in Dillon before you plan on it.
