## About Hot Springs

A thermal point listed only as Hot Springs, this one lies under a mile from Grand Loop Road, in the central part of Yellowstone National Park. The record calls the water hot and gives no reading. Gallatin County, park land. Public access open. West Yellowstone is about sixteen miles distant.

Under a mile of walking connects the Grand Loop Road to the spring. Elevation: a shade below eight thousand feet. Averaged across the year it is thirty-four degrees. Snow tops twelve feet in a normal year, and precipitation is moderate. Here the ground is National Park Service land with national park designation.

No best-months entry exists for this spring and no temperature has been logged, so the sensible approach is to treat it as an unknown, possibly scalding, thermal feature reached on foot. Camping on record is Tower Fall Campground, about nineteen miles away. Ask the park what is open before you go. Nobody collects a fee here, as far as the record shows.
