## About New Biltmore Hot Springs

New Biltmore Hot Springs, which OpenStreetMap labels plainly as Biltmore Hot Springs, lies off Ziegler Hot Springs Road in Beaverhead County, nineteen miles from Dillon. Hot water, hotter than most people could sit in as it comes from the ground. Ownership and public access are not on record. A 1978 USGS sample found the water slightly acidic and carrying iron.

A roadside spring, a couple hundred feet from Ziegler Hot Springs Road, down in a dry valley in the southwest corner of Montana. Winters are light on snow and rain is scarce. Neither land unit nor designation is listed.

The spring appears on OpenStreetMap as Biltmore Hot Springs, without the New, and the USGS sampled it in 1978.

Hot water: check it with a hand before committing a body. Hells Canyon Guard Station, sixteen miles off, is the camp listed. Midwinter carries the best rating, and light snow makes that plausible. Nobody has recorded if the public may visit, so ask first.
