Hot Spring Near Katmai Pass
The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Hot Spring Near Katmai Pass lies inside Katmai National Park, in Kodiak Island Borough on the record, roughly a hundred miles from Kodiak Station. The Park Service has it open. No temperature is recorded beyond the word hot, and no chemistry exists. This is national park backcountry in a climate that drops over thirty feet of snow annually.
The nearest road is the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes Road, nearly fourteen miles off, and from there it is backcountry. The yearly average temperature on file is twenty degrees, well below freezing, with around six and a half feet of precipitation. No campground appears in the record for it. Elevation is not on record.
The record does not favor any month. Open access, but it is a national park, so check with the park on backcountry travel. With no temperature, do not plan a soak around it. Snow that deep will decide when anyone can get there.
USGS hasn't flown a detailed laser scan here yet, so this view comes from aerial photos and older elevation data.
