## About Bozeman Hot Springs

Bozeman Hot Springs sits under a mile from Four Corners in Gallatin County, Montana, right beside Gallatin Road. The source is hot enough that you would not put a hand in at the outlet. The water runs strongly alkaline and has iron in it. It appears in the USGS inventory with a 1976 sample. Ownership and public access are missing from our record, so do not assume you can walk up to it.

Gallatin Road is about forty feet away. Valley floor for the Gallatin, at mid elevation, with snowfall a little under five feet in most years and moderate precipitation. Lower Hyalite Group, about ten miles out, is the closest listed place to camp. The record carries no land owner and no land unit, which for a spring this close to the road is worth knowing before you stop.

Best months listed are December through February. Because the source runs well above soaking temperature, any use depends on how the water is cooled, and nothing in the record describes a pool. Confirm ownership before visiting. The chemistry is half a century old.
