## About Orr Creek Warm Springs

Orr Creek Warm Springs is a warm seep in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Klickitat County, Washington, a long way from anywhere: White Salmon, the town on record, is over forty miles off. Low seventies on file, tepid, which rules out a proper soak. Access is open. The road gets you close.

Forest Road 5603-017 comes within a tenth of a mile. Elevation is a little under three thousand feet, high enough that the snowfall on file, well over two hundred inches, matters for timing. Forest Service ground, no fee in the record. Precipitation is substantial.

Adams Fork Campground is two miles and a bit away, close enough to make this a side trip from camp. Winter is the recommended stretch per the record, but forest roads under this much snow are a real question; ask the ranger district. The water is tepid. No burn risk, and no reason to expect a hot pool.
