Seep
Listed only as Seep on the record, this is a tepid thermal seep in Death Valley National Park on the Nevada side, Nye County, about 27 miles from Beatty. The water is barely warm. Access is open, and it is backcountry, five miles from the nearest road.
Scotty's Castle Road is the nearest road, a little over five miles away, and the record classes this as backcountry. The ground sits near 5,800 feet, dry, five inches of precipitation a year and ten inches of snow. It is National Park Service land.
Winter is on file as the season to come. Five miles each way with no trail described on record. No campground listed. No fee noted. At this temperature the seep is a curiosity; nobody is going to warm up in it.
Seep sits at 5,767 feet above sea level, way above the mile-high mark. You may not feel the altitude strongly, but hot water still dehydrates you faster at elevation. UV is about 23% stronger than at sea level, so bring sunscreen and drink more water than you normally would.
