Chillis Hot Spring comes in a shade above body heat, soaking warm, in Lander County, Nevada, thirty-odd miles from Battle Mountain. Who owns it and if the public may visit are not on record. There is a USGS site entry and no chemistry. That is the sum of what the file knows about it, along with a position and a short approach.

Location
34 miles from Battle Mountain, NV

You walk in from the road, a little over three hundred yards. Moderate elevation. Winter snowfall comes to two and a half feet most years. Summers are dry. No land unit or designation is given, and the spring goes undescribed, so there is no telling from the file if there is a pool or a seep at the end of the walk.

The file gives December through February as the best months, and snow on the road is likely then. The temperature is comfortable and you can stay in as long as you like. Access is unknown; find the landowner first. No fee is listed and no campground, and the water has not been sampled.
