## About Quinns Hot Springs

Ten miles from Plains, in Sanders County, Montana, Quinns Hot Springs runs at the top of what most people would soak in, hot but bearable for many. Owner and access are absent from the row, and there is no water chemistry on file. A campground is close by, which is more than most entries can say.

The nearest road is about a hundred feet away, so this is roadside. The spring sits low for Montana. Winters bring five and a half feet of snow or so. Rain is moderate. Cascade Campground, two miles and change off, is the campground the record points to.

Season, per the record: winter. Cascade Campground is the obvious base, a couple miles off. Since nobody has recorded access or a fee, find out if the spring is open to the public before driving out. No date is attached to the temperature, so treat the soaking claim as provisional.
