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.
One of two springs in Cassia County that the record calls Warm Spring and nothing else, this one about fifteen miles from Burley. The water is barely warm, below body heat by a wide margin. A 1968 sample gives moderate dissolved solids. There is no owner on file and no access status. The USGS lists it.
Getting there means leaving an unnamed road and covering a little over a hundred yards. The ground sits a bit above five thousand feet. Winters bring around twenty inches of snow and the year is dry overall. Nothing on file describes the land unit, and no agency or private owner is named.
The record suggests winter. No campground is listed nearby. The temperature and chemistry were last checked in 1968, so both are historical. With access unknown, this is one to research before driving out, and the water is cool enough that the payoff is small.
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 Warm Spring.

That's about twice the US average of 65. It's higher than at 87% of the springs on this site.
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.
