Hobo Warm 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.
Hobo Warm Spring is a warm spring in Salt Lake County, about seven miles from West Valley City. The water is warm, short of body heat. No chemistry has been measured and no owner is listed. The record carries no USGS site number either, so this one is thinner on data than most springs in the state.
About ninety feet separates the spring from a road whose name is not recorded. Valley elevation. A bit over three feet of snow falls in a winter; precipitation is moderate.
Listed best months are December through February. Mueller Park Group Picnic is the closest listed camping, about eleven miles. Access is not on record, so confirm before visiting. With no water chemistry and no survey date, the temperature itself should be treated as a single reading of unknown age.

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.
