## About Hot Springs

Recorded under the bare name Hot Springs, this is a thermal point in the Carbon County corner of Yellowstone National Park. Red Lodge is the nearest town on file. No temperature has been measured here, or at least none reached the record, which lists the water only as warm. That rules it out as a known soak. Park land, publicly accessible. Deep backcountry.

Eleven and a half miles of backcountry lie between this spring and the Northeast Entrance Road, the nearest road on record. Nothing shorter is listed. The ground sits near eight thousand feet. Snowfall is enormous, close to fourteen feet a year; the yearly mean hovers a little above freezing. Annual precipitation runs moderate.

There is no best-months entry for this one and no temperature. Snowfall that heavy leaves a short summer window, and the park can say what is passable. Threemile Campground, about seventeen miles away, is the nearest camping listed. Access is open. No road comes closer than a long backcountry walk, so treat this as a map point for the curious.
