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.
The second Cassia County Warm Spring sits closer to Burley, about six miles out, and runs warmer than its namesake, with water that would feel pleasant on a cold morning. The 1966 sample shows low-mineral, slightly alkaline water. The USGS has a site here. No owner or access status has been recorded.
The closest road, unnamed on record, is about a tenth of a mile off. Higher than its sibling at a bit under six thousand feet, the spring sees close to two and a half feet of snow in winter and a moderately dry year otherwise. No land manager is listed.
Winter is the season in the record. Clear Creek Campground is the nearest listed, almost twenty miles. Water chemistry is from 1966 and there is no newer temperature reading. Access is unrecorded, so ask before walking in. The walk itself is short.
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.

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.
