## About Phillips Springs

Phillips Springs puts out water right at the edge between barely warm and tepid; it would feel cool on a warm day. The spring lies about seven miles from Jemez Pueblo in Sandoval County, on land of Zia Pueblo. Access on file is unknown, and since this is tribal land you should assume a visit needs permission. No photo and no chemistry are on file.

Under half a mile on foot from an unnamed road. Elevation is moderate. Dry climate, light winter snow, mild average. Vista Linda Campground is about eleven miles away, the nearest on file. It is designated tribal land under the Zia Pueblo, and no fee is mentioned.

Ask the Pueblo of Zia before you go; the record does not say visitors are welcome. The record favors the winter months, and snow is light. There is no water sample on file. Count on a cool pool at most, if there is a pool at all; the record does not describe one.
