## About Crescent Valley Hot Springs

Crescent Valley Hot Springs sits twenty-eight miles from Battle Mountain in Lander County, Nevada, beside a road called Dean Dann Spa Road. The water comes out very hot, on the edge of scalding. The record has nothing on ownership or access. A 1974 sample found the water a little on the acid side, with calcium and sodium among the minerals. The USGS also tracks it.

Dean Dann Spa Road runs within about a hundred sixty feet of the spring. No elevation is on file for this one. Snowfall runs to twenty-seven inches across a winter, and rain is scarce otherwise. Land owner, land unit and designation are all blank, so who controls the ground is an open question.

Winter is the period the file recommends, snow and all. The water can burn; feel for cooler spots before any part of you goes in. Access is unknown, so find out who owns the land. Fees and camping do not appear in the record. The chemistry is from 1974 and should be taken as old.
