## About Hot Springs

Here is a hot spring the record identifies only by the generic name Hot Springs, lying more than seven miles into the Yellowstone backcountry off the Grand Loop Road. Gallatin County, Park Service land. Open to visitors. West Yellowstone, which the record gives as the closest town, is twenty-two miles away. The temperature was never logged, so the record says hot and nothing more.

At nearly eighty-three hundred feet this is high country. Seven-plus miles out, the Grand Loop Road is the closest road listed. Winters are long. The yearly average temperature is right at freezing and the snow total runs past eleven feet. Precipitation is moderate.

No best months are given. Plan for the snow-free season, and the park will know what is open. Tower Fall Campground is under ten miles away, the closest camping on the record. The temperature is unknown, so assume scalding potential and keep back from any vent. Access is open and no fee appears on the record.
