## About Unnamed thermal spring

An unnamed thermal point on the Armendaris Ranch, private conservation land in Socorro County, seventeen miles from Socorro. The ranch is private and access is closed. Tepid, around seventy. No water chemistry on record and no USGS site number. The land designation reads private conservation, and the closed status leaves nothing to plan around, so this page exists for completeness.

A hike of around 1.4 miles from the road, on private conservation land at around 5,400 feet. Desert, dry, light snow, mild average. The ranch is the owner of record, under a private conservation designation. The record has no road name. With the property closed, the spring is unlikely to get described any time soon.

Do not go. The ranch is private and closed to the public. Water Canyon Campground is about seventeen miles away, for anyone in the area for other reasons. The temperature would not reward trespass anyway. Winter is the only rated season.
