## About Unnamed thermal spring

An unnamed thermal point in the Yellowstone backcountry, Gallatin County, roughly six miles off the East Entrance Road. This is the odd one among the park's listings here: the temperature on record is soaking warm, in the mid nineties. That alone does not make it a soak. It is inside a national park, and nothing on file says a pool exists. West Yellowstone is the nearest town listed.

Nearly six miles of backcountry travel from the East Entrance Road, at close to 7,900 feet. Snow on record is deep, thirteen feet, and the annual average temperature sits near freezing. Moderate precipitation. Park Service land, national park designation. There is a photo on record, which is more than most unnamed points have.

Check park rules before treating this as a soak. December through February are the best months on file, which with this snowpack means a long ski. Overnight backcountry travel needs a permit in the park, so ask. Threemile Campground is the nearest camp on record, fourteen miles away. No fee listed.
