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 record calls this Geyser, with Warm Spring Creek Springs as the fuller name, on Bureau of Land Management ground almost fifty miles from Pinedale in Sublette County, Wyoming. The word geyser is in the name. The temperature on file is in the low eighties, which is warm bathwater. Public land, access open, and the road is right there: the record puts the spring seven feet from it.
You could step out of a vehicle onto it. The BLM Lander Field Office manages the land, which is classed as public. Elevation is about 7,300 feet, with nine feet of snow in a winter and a little under two feet of precipitation. Green River Lake Lodge, eighteen miles off, is the nearest camping on record.
Winter shows as best on file, though nine feet of snow will decide whether the road is open. Access is open and no fee is recorded. Chemistry is from 1965, moderately mineralized and near neutral, so read it as a snapshot from that year. The temperature poses no danger.
