Warm Springs
Warm Springs in Utah County lies about eight miles from Saratoga Springs on ground the record ties to Utah Lake, with a state agency code as owner. Public access is marked unknown. The water is warm, upper seventies, below soaking temperature. A 1958 sample found calcium and magnesium with sulfate and chloride. No photo is on file.
The nearest road passes within three hundred feet or so, and the record does not name it. Elevation is about forty-five hundred feet, lake level for this valley. Winters bring around four feet of snow and annual moisture is sixteen inches. The land unit on file is Utah Lake itself, which suggests shoreline, though the record does not say so outright.
December through February are the best months on record. Access is unknown, not closed and not open, so ask before you visit. Hope Campground is about fourteen miles away and is the camping listed. The chemistry and the temperature come from a survey in 1958 and should be treated as history more than current data.
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 Springs.

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.
