## About Walti Hot Springs

Walti Hot Springs is a scalding spring in Eureka County, a bit over forty miles from Eureka.

Roughly a third of a mile on foot. The road you start from has no name on record, and no elevation is listed either. Winters put down more than three feet of snow. Precipitation over the year is moderate, with the average temperature somewhere near fifty. No campground is listed.

Rated best December through February, snow and all. Scalding water, so keep out of the source. The landowner and the access rules are unknown; make inquiries before driving forty miles. No fee noted. The water sample is half a century old, and the temperature on file carries no date.
