Warm Springs in Summit County sits on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, tribal land, about twenty-six miles from Francis. The water is warm and carries iron among its minerals, according to a 1971 sample. Access is marked unknown, and on tribal land that means the tribe's permission governs, nothing else. The USGS records the site.

High country, a little over seven thousand feet, and one of the snowiest spots here with more than seven feet of snow across a winter and a wet year besides. A road passes within three hundred feet, unnamed on the record. The land designation is Tribal Land, with the owner code DESG and the unit the Uintah and Ouray Reservation. Hades Campground is the nearest listed, about six and a half miles.

Winter is the season on file, though with snow this deep the roadside position may be the only thing that makes a winter visit possible. Before going, contact the reservation's authorities about permission. The chemistry, iron included, dates from 1971.

Mile-High Advisory 7,030 ft

Warm Springs sits at 7,030 feet above sea level, way above the mile-high mark. You may not feel the altitude strongly, but hot water still dehydrates you faster at elevation. UV is about 28% stronger than at sea level, so bring sunscreen and drink more water than you normally would.
