Dixie (Laverkin) Hot Springs
Dixie Hot Springs carries a second name, Laverkin Hot Springs, and it sits inside LaVerkin proper, down in the southwest corner of Utah. The water runs hot, a bit under 110, which makes for a real soak assuming you can reach it. A sample taken in 2014 came back very heavy in dissolved solids. The record skips the owner entirely and says nothing about whether visitors are welcome.
Roadside, less than a hundred feet off pavement, and the road goes unnamed. Low elevation for Utah, around three thousand feet, in the warm dry part of the state where snow falls lightly and rain totals stay under a foot. Red Cliffs Campground lies seven and a half miles out, the camping named on the record.
The mild climate here backs up the winter recommendation on file. The water is hot enough that you go in carefully. Since the record has no owner and no access status, check locally in LaVerkin. The 2014 chemistry is relatively recent. Washington County is where the spring sits.

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.
