Veyo 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.
Veyo Hot Spring is in Washington County in Utah's southwest corner, eleven miles or so from Ivins. The water on file is at the low end of soaking warm, fine to sit in on a mild day and no hotter than that. The USGS tracks it and a 1967 sample gives the chemistry. Neither ownership nor public access is recorded.
The spring rises a few dozen feet from a road whose name was never noted, and the walk in amounts to nothing. Elevation is mid-desert, around forty-four hundred feet, and the climate is warm and dry with only about a foot of snow in a winter. No land manager is on file.
Winter, per the record. Pine Valley Guard Station is the closest camping listed, about twelve miles away. The chemistry and temperature date to 1967, so both could have drifted. Because nobody has recorded who owns the ground, assume permission is needed until you know otherwise.
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 Veyo 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.

Overview Pine Valley Guard Station is located in scenic Pine Valley Recreation Area, about 45 minutes from St. George, Utah. Built in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the station was used to house a recreation guard during the summer months to assist the visiting public. The cabin is open year-round and is accessible by vehicle during good road conditions.
