Crystal Springs hot springs is a system of geothermal springs and seeps near Ash Springs, located at the site of a ghost town, Crystal Springs, Nevada. Several marshes and springs are located along the White River.[1]

Location

[edit]

The spring area is located off the Extraterrestrial Highway in a remote area of the Nevada high desert near Nellis Air Force Base.[2] There is a large soaking pool fed by the spring water. GPS coordinates are N 37 31.920 W 115 13.980[3] The nearly ghost town of Crystal Springs is located at the Nevada Historical Marker 205 (Crystal Springs), in the Pahranagat Valley region of Lincoln County, Nevada.[4] Crystal Spring area was major site for stopovers on the alternate route of the Mormon trail,[5] and later became a stagecoach stop and the first Lincoln County seat.[6]

Water profile

[edit]

The hot mineral water emerges from the ground at 90°F/32°C.[3] Water spraying from the irrigation pipe that is channeled into the soaking pool is 81°F.[2] A rare species of freshwater snail lives in the warm spring water, the Crystal Spring Pyrgulopsis crystalis.[5]
