Lovells Hot Spring
Lovells Hot Spring is a hot spring in name only. The water in Beaverhead County, eight miles or so from Dillon, comes out tepid, warm to the hand and useless for soaking. The record carries no owner and no chemistry. It is a point on the map beside a road, with a temperature attached and little else.
Roadside, a couple hundred feet from a road that goes unnamed. The spring sits at middling elevation in dry country, little more than a foot of precipitation a year and a light snow season. Henneberry House, a bit over four miles away, is the camping the row names. No land unit and designation is on record.
Winter months are listed as best, which for tepid water mostly means the roads are clear enough in a dry valley. Henneberry House is it for camping. Confirm who owns the land; the row does not say. There is no fee given and no sample date, so the temperature is an unverified figure.

Lovells Hot Spring sits at 5,506 feet above sea level, way above the mile-high mark. You may not feel the altitude strongly, but hot water still dehydrates you faster at elevation. UV is about 22% stronger than at sea level, so bring sunscreen and drink more water than you normally would.
