Hot Springs Near Mt Katmai
The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Unmeasured hot springs near Mount Katmai, above three thousand feet in Katmai National Park. Open access as park land, but reaching them means about nineteen miles of backcountry from the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes Road. Kodiak Station is the nearest community on record, a long way off. The listing says hot and leaves the number blank.
High, cold country, with an enormous snowfall figure in the climate record and a mean temperature for the year that sits below freezing. The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes Road is the closest road. Beyond its end there is nothing on file about the ground, the route, or shelter. The National Park Service runs the park. Rain is heavy when it is not snowing.
No season on record. No temperature. Park backcountry; the park service is the source for permits and conditions. Treat hot ground as hot until you have tested it, because the record cannot tell you if this is a warm seep or a boiling vent. Nothing about camping or fees is listed.
USGS hasn't flown a detailed laser scan here yet, so this view comes from aerial photos and older elevation data.
