## About Springs On Fairy Creek

Springs On Fairy Creek covers a set of thermal springs strung along Fairy Creek in Yellowstone, Gallatin County, something over a mile of hiking from the road. No temperature was ever recorded, so there is no telling if it is soakable, and nothing there should be assumed cool enough to touch. West Yellowstone stands as the closest listed town. Park land, open.

The record lists a 1.3-mile hike without naming the road. Elevation around 7,200 feet. Snowfall on record is heavy, around thirteen feet, and the year is wetter than most of the park's thermal areas. Average temperature in the upper thirties. Park Service land, national park designation. Nothing else about the ground is on file.

No best months are on record and no temperature either, so treat it as unknown and hot. Summer is the practical window given the snow. Big Springs group area in Island Park is the campground on record, twenty miles away. No fee listed. The USGS lists a site here.
