## About Hidaway Springs

Hidaway Springs sits beside Hidaway Springs Road in Umatilla County, Oregon, about twenty-six miles from Pilot Rock. The water comes out at soaking temperature, body-warm and comfortable. Whose land it is on and whether it is open to the public are both missing from the record, and there is no USGS site number for it either.

Less than a hundred yards from the road. Mid elevation, with a real winter snowpack and a couple of feet of precipitation. Camping is distant; Olive Lake Campground is about twenty-five miles away, far enough that it is not a practical base for a visit.

The file picks winter as best, and the snowfall is enough that the road condition matters then. The temperature would suit a bath, though the record says nothing about whether a pool exists. Find out who owns it before you use it. No fee listed, no chemistry on file, no second name from any other source.
