Hatton Hot Spring
Drag the handle to compare the two views. The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Hatton Hot Spring comes out of the ground at a temperature you could sit in, a touch over body heat, in Millard County's valley country about eleven miles from Fillmore. It is a USGS-listed thermal spring with no resort and no named operator on file. Whose land it sits on has never been recorded, so treat that as an open question before you go.
Access is about as easy as it gets on paper. The spring sits a stone's throw from a road, under 150 feet, and the road itself has no name in the record. At roughly 4,800 feet this is valley floor with dry summers and a winter that brings a fair amount of snow, enough that a December visit can mean plowed roads or worse. Public or private land, the record does not say.
The record favors the dead of winter, December through February, which lines up with soaking-warm water and cold air. Adelaide Campground is about nine miles off. The water chemistry on file dates to a 1985 survey, so expect the temperature and flow to have drifted. With no access status recorded, ask locally or check county parcel maps before walking in.
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 Hatton Hot 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.
