Deseret Livestock
Drag the handle to compare the two views. The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Deseret Livestock is a warm spring off Skull Valley Road in Tooele County, about fifteen miles out from Grantsville. Nobody has put down an owner or an access status, so treat it as private until you learn otherwise. The water is tepid, low seventies. There is no analysis of it at all, only a temperature and a location.
It lies 110 feet off Skull Valley Road, no walking involved. Valley floor at mid elevation, with winters that drop about thirty inches of snow and a dry twelve inches of precipitation. Loop Campground, eight miles away, is the camping named in the record. The road itself is the one landmark you can count on.
Winter is the listed season. Roadside means easy, but the lack of an ownership entry means you should ask. The temperature is a single survey reading. Loop Campground makes the obvious overnight. Grantsville is the closest town for supplies. Two similarly named springs sit nearby on this site, so make sure you are looking at the right entry.

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.
