Grantsville Warm Springs is a warm, extremely salty spring on state trust land in Tooele County, a few miles outside Grantsville. Access is listed as open. The dissolved-solids figure is very high; this is brine. Temperature is mild, warm to the touch and no more.
The road comes within about 150 feet, on the State Trust Lands I-80 Block, which carries a special recreation management designation. Valley floor, a bit above four thousand feet. This is on the drier side of the state listings, with roughly two feet of snow a winter and modest rainfall.
The cold months are the ones flagged. The Boy Scout campground is about eleven miles away. No fee is recorded. The temperature and chemistry both come from a 1978 sample, so treat the numbers as dated. Nothing on file describes a pool or any improvements, and there is no photo.

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.
