West 12000 North is the nearest road. From there the spring sits roughly a fifth of a mile off, a short stroll. Elevation is valley floor for northern Utah. The water carries a fair load of dissolved minerals, including iron. Winters here bring around three feet of snow, with moderate precipitation spread through the year.
