## About Sulphur Spring

Sulphur Spring sits off Pumpernickel Valley Road about 21 miles from Winnemucca in Humboldt County, on public land the BLM runs from its Humboldt River Field Office. The record classes it as hot but carries no actual temperature reading, so do not count on a soak. Access is open. The listing lacks a USGS site number. It lacks a second name and a photo too.

Roadside, under a hundred feet from Pumpernickel Valley Road. Open BLM land with the standard public designation. Snowfall is under two feet in a typical year and precipitation around ten inches. Elevation is moderate.

No best months are on file. Access is open and roadside. With no temperature on record, expect to find out on arrival what the water is like. There is no chemistry on file, and neither fee nor campground is listed. No photograph either.
