Charnock (Big Blue) Springs
Charnock Springs, also called Big Blue Springs, rises warm on BLM-managed ground in Nye County, sixty-some miles from Tonopah. The water on file is mild, short of a proper soak. Access is open. The USGS site number attached to it is the same one recorded for Big Blue (A) Spring, so the two listings point at the same ground.
Lower Mine Road is the nearest named road, about eight tenths of a mile off, so count on walking. Tonopah Field Office land, BLM. Nearly fifty-five hundred feet up, high desert, eight inches of annual precipitation, winter snow adding up to a bit over two feet.
Winter scores highest on file. Warm water only, no burn risk. BLM land, open, with no fee listed and no camping on record. The walk is under a mile each way, but nothing on record describes the route, so navigate on your own.
Charnock (Big Blue) Springs sits at 5,480 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.
