## About Spring

A warm spring on Laguna Pueblo land in Valencia County, listed on the record under the name Spring and nothing else. Los Chavez is under two miles away, so this is close to settled ground. The water runs a little below body heat. Because it lies on tribal land, access is listed as unknown, and that fact outweighs everything else about the place.

High desert at around 5,600 feet, dry most of the year with light winter snow. The nearest road is under a mile off, an easy walk in distance terms, yet the ground between is Pueblo land and the road goes unnamed on file. The record says nothing about the spring itself beyond its temperature and its position on the map.

Contact the Pueblo of Laguna before planning any visit. Do not assume tribal land is open; the record shows no permission. Winter is the season the record favors. There is no water chemistry, no fee, and no campground listed. The USGS tracks the site by number and nothing more.
