## About Crescent Valley Hot Springs

Crescent Valley Hot Springs comes out of the ground hot, a few degrees under the point where water burns skin on contact. It sits in Lander County, Nevada, a little under thirty miles from Battle Mountain, the closest town on file. Neither an owner nor a public access status has been put on record. A USGS thermal entry exists for the spot.

The spring lies a couple hundred feet off Dean Dann Spa Road, so it counts as a roadside stop. The valley floor here is mid-elevation high desert, dry most of the year, with about ten inches of precipitation. Winters drop around two feet of snow over the season.

The record favors December through February for a visit. Drive up, walk a short way. No campground is listed anywhere near. Water this hot will scald; test it before you put a hand in, and do not assume any pool is cooler than the source. Landowner and public access both sit blank on file, so find out before you go.
