Wasatch Hot Springs
Wasatch Hot Springs is a city park spring on the north edge of Salt Lake City, inside Warm Springs Park, with public access open. The water comes out at a temperature most people would call a hot bath, right at the upper limit of comfortable. A 1967 sample found it heavily mineralized, with sodium and chloride leading. City land, roadside, urban.
Beck Street runs within about two hundred feet. This is a valley floor site at forty-three hundred feet, inside the city, and the setting is a municipal park more than open country. Winters put down a bit over three feet of snow and the year totals nineteen inches of moisture. A photograph is attached to the record.
Winter is the season on file, and a city park is reachable then. Access is open. Mueller Park Group Picnic is the nearest camping listed, about six miles off. The chemistry is from 1967. Check with the city about bathing rules in the park, since the record does not say.
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 Wasatch Hot Springs.

That's about 1½ times the US average of 65. It's higher than at 58% 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.
