Juntura Warm Spring 2 shares a USGS sample with its numbered neighbor and sits forty-five miles from Vale in Malheur County. This one is soaking warm, about body temperature, warm enough for a sit without any burn worry. No one has recorded who owns this ground or if visitors are allowed. No picture on file.
Beulah Road is the access, a tenth-mile or so of walking from it. The spot sits below three thousand feet in dry basin country. Two feet or so of snow falls each winter, and rain is scant. No unit of public land is listed.
