About a hundred and sixty feet from Wilkins-Montello Road, roadside in the plainest sense. Elevation right around five thousand feet. Winters bring two feet of snow, give or take, and the year's precipitation is eleven inches.

On record as best: the dead of winter, December into February. Cool water, no hazard. No water chemistry is on file, so nothing to say about minerals. Nothing on file either about who owns it or if you can visit. No campground listed.
