## About Kennecott Warm Springs

Kennecott Warm Springs is a thermal point in the USGS record for Grant County, eleven miles from Hurley. No temperature is on file, only the label warm and a 1955 water sample showing sulfate and chloride at a near neutral pH. With no measured temperature there is no basis for calling it soakable, or for calling it anything. Access is unrecorded as well.

Two hundred feet off the closest road at around five thousand feet, in dry country where snow is rare. Owner and unit are absent, as is any note on the spring's form or the road's name. It is the sparsest kind of entry, a coordinate and a chemistry date, and the county is the only firm location.

The name and the sample are close to all that exist. Confirm ownership before looking for it, since the land could be private. No temperature means no season to recommend, and the record leaves best months blank. No campground listed. If you find it and measure it, that would be more than USGS has done since 1955.
