Ellison Ranch Warm Spring
Ellison Ranch Warm Spring is a thermal point right outside Carlin, Nevada, about three and a half miles from town in Elko County. The record marks it warm without a measured temperature. Who holds the land is not listed, and neither is public access.
Park and you are basically there. A few dozen feet separate the spring from the road, which nobody has named on the books. Five thousand feet up. Snow runs to about three feet in a typical winter, and the year brings roughly a foot of precipitation.
Best months are absent from the record. There is no temperature to go on, so soaking is off the table. The one water sample, from 1990, came back near neutral with the usual mineral list. Access and owner unknown, so ask around in Carlin before walking onto anything. No campground nearby is listed.
The water at Ellison Ranch Warm Spring is slightly alkaline (pH 7.5).
