Boyles Hill Springs
Boyles Hill Springs is a warm spring near Wilson, in Teton County, Wyoming, three miles from town. The water is in the mid eighties, warm to the hand and cool for a soak. No landowner is recorded and no access status either. Assume private until you know otherwise.
Swan Road comes within a fifth of a mile. Nothing on file says what kind of ground lies between. Elevation is a bit above six thousand feet and the snow is heavy, close to twelve feet over a winter, with under two and a half feet of total precipitation, so the summers run dry. Trail Creek is the nearest campground on record, eleven miles or so away.
Find out who owns it first. The record is silent on access and on land, and a short walk off a road does not make a spring public. The climate on file points to winter. Temperature is mild, no burn risk. No fee is listed, no water chemistry.

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.
