Cutler Warm Spring
Cutler Warm Spring is a mildly warm spring in Cache County, about nine miles from Benson. The temperature on file is a little above room temperature, refreshing in summer and not much comfort in January. The listing does not name a landowner or say who may use it. There is a photo.
North Cutler Dam Road runs within about thirty feet, so you can see it from the car. The valley here sits a bit over four thousand feet. The water is moderately mineralized, nothing extreme. Snow totals run near four feet a winter, and the area gets a moderate share of rain.
The record puts the best months in winter. Bridger Campground is the closest listed camping at around seventeen miles. Access is unrecorded, so check before you stop. The chemistry dates from early 1968, so the temperature may have drifted since. Nothing on file mentions a fee.
Aircraft with laser scanners measured this ground to within inches. The scan strips out trees and buildings, leaving the bare shape of the land around Cutler Warm Spring.

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.
