Backcountry describes Little Hot Springs in Eureka County: forty-five miles from Eureka, on open BLM land under Mount Lewis Field Office management. The record calls it hot but gives no temperature, so do not count on it being soakable. Getting there takes a hike of more than two miles from Grass Valley Road.

Location
55 miles from Battle Mountain, NV

From Grass Valley Road the springs are about two and a third miles on foot across public land. The site sits above fifty-six hundred feet, and winters drop more than three feet of snow against eleven inches of yearly precipitation. No designation beyond ordinary public land applies.

No best months are listed. The snow totals argue for late spring through fall for a hike this long. Access is open and no fee appears on file. With no temperature on file, treat the water with caution until you have tested it yourself. No camping is listed nearby.
