## About Spring

An unnamed thermal point fifteen miles from Boulder City in Clark County, very low, under seven hundred feet. The source runs scalding. The record links it to the Wikipedia entry for Gold Strike Hot Springs, the group near Hoover Dam in the Lake Mead recreation area, though the record itself is silent on ownership and access.

The closest road has no name on file and stops about a fifth of a mile short, leaving a brief walk. Desert floor at the low end of the state. Snow is zero. Rain comes to five inches annually. Summer heat here is dangerous, and the listed best months are the cold ones.

The Wikipedia article attached to this record describes Gold Strike Hot Springs, also called Goldstrike or Gold Strike Canyon Hot Springs, a group of springs near Hoover Dam on the Arizona line near Boulder City, inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

Cold months only. Scalding source water, so any soak depends on mixing the record does not describe. Water sampled in 2008 was neutral with a heavy mineral load. Access not on record. Fee and camping were never logged.
