## About Potts Ranch Hot Springs

Potts Ranch Hot Springs sits in Eureka County about 47 miles from the town of Eureka, high up at over 6,600 feet. The water is hot, past the point of a comfortable soak at the source. No owner and no access status appear on the record. A USGS site number is attached, so the temperature is a measured one.

Essentially drive-up, under forty feet from the road, and that road carries no name on file. This is high cold country, three feet and more of snow through the winter and under ten inches of precipitation in a year, a dry place punctuated by a snowy season.

The listing favors deep winter, but at this elevation that is also when the three feet of snow falls. Hot enough that you would let the water cool before sitting in it, if sitting is allowed at all. Access unknown, owner unknown. No campground listed. No water chemistry on record either, and the measurement has no date.
