## About Hot Spring

A thermal point three miles from Wells in Elko County, on BLM ground managed by the Wells Field Office, with open access and a photo on file. Its name on file is the plain Hot Spring. It is flagged hot, with no measured temperature behind the flag, so assume heat and verify before you touch it. Metropolis Road is the closest road, a few hundred feet away.

Short walk from Metropolis Road, a few hundred feet, over public land at around fifty-six hundred feet. This is cool country. Roughly three feet of snow falls in a normal winter and the year brings eleven inches of precipitation. The annual mean is in the high forties. The photo on file is the only description of the site.

No best months are on record, and the snow argues for the warm months. Camping is at Angel Creek in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, a bit over eight miles away. Access open, no fee listed. Since the temperature is unrecorded, treat the water as potentially too hot until you have tested it.
