Como Springs
Como Springs is a warm spring a mile and a bit outside Morgan, in Morgan County. The water comes up pleasantly warm, under body temperature, comfortable on a cold day and mild on a hot one. Who owns the ground is missing from the record, and so is any word on public access. A photo is on file.
Round Valley Road passes within about two hundred feet of the spring, so this counts as roadside. The elevation is a touch over five thousand feet. This is one of the snowier spots among the Utah listings, with more than seven feet of snow in an average winter, and precipitation runs on the wet side for the state.
Winter is the listed best season, which fits a spring at this temperature, but heavy snow will shape what roadside means in January. Bountiful Peak Campground is the nearest camping at almost nine miles. Confirm ownership and permission before you go. The chemistry sample dates from 1966.
USGS hasn't flown a detailed laser scan here yet, so this view comes from aerial photos and older elevation data.

That's about 1½ times the US average of 65. It's higher than at 28% of the springs on this site.
Heat flow measures the warmth working its way up through the ground from deep inside the earth. Where it runs high, rain and snowmelt that seep down through cracks in the rock come back up hot.
