Another unnamed hot spring near Alturas, this one about 370 feet from the road on BLM ground, open, in the Black Rock Field Office. The record puts it in Modoc County. Hot water, above the range most people can sit in.
Short walk in. Four thousand feet up, give or take. Winters are snowy in a modest way, roughly two feet, and the year is dry otherwise at ten inches or so. There is no photo and no chemistry work. Temperature and location are all anyone has written down.
December through February on record as best. Hot enough to need caution; test with a hand before anything else. No water sample on file, so mineral content is a guess. Access listed as open. Nothing about fees or camping.
