## About Warm Springs

Warm Springs, about twenty five miles from Wells in Elko County, is a thermal point the USGS tracks under its own site number. The water is logged as warm without a figure. There is a photograph attached. Ownership and public access are both missing, so a stranger's right to walk up to it is an open question.

Close to the Great Basin Highway, about a hundred and fifty yards off the pavement. The spring lies a little under six thousand feet up. Snow accumulates to better than three feet across an average winter and the annual moisture is moderate. The Terraces campground and picnic area, some nineteen miles distant, is the nearest overnight spot the record lists.

No best months were scored. A short walk from a main highway makes this one easy to check on a drive through, and the snowfall suggests spring through autumn for the walk itself. Ownership is unrecorded, so be ready for a fence. The USGS listing means the point has been formally located even if nobody measured the heat.
