## About Ash Springs

Ash Springs shares its name with the community around it in the Pahranagat Valley of Lincoln County, Nevada, six miles or so from Alamo. The water is body temperature, the kind you can sit in for a long while. It is BLM ground under the Caliente Field Office and access is open. The chemistry is neutral, with calcium, magnesium, sodium and sulfate in the water, from a sample taken in 1981.

The road is under three hundred feet away. This is valley floor, low and dry, with summers that run hot and winters that rarely hold snow for long. The community of Ash Springs is a ranching place, so expect working land around the public parcel. Beyond the BLM designation the file gives no description of the springs themselves.

Ash Springs is an unincorporated community whose main business is ranching. The name comes from the desert ash trees growing nearby.

Winter months are the listed season. The spring is a roadside stop and the access is open, two things that take most of the guesswork out of a visit. No fee or campground appears in the record. Body-warm water is safe to soak in for a long time, though the sample it was measured from is decades old. Check the current state of the site when you arrive; the file has nothing newer than 1981.
