Baker Hot Springs

Baker Hot Springs, located on Fumarole Butte northwest of Delta in Millard County, Utah, are a system of geothermal siliceous springs that emerge in the remote desert basin of the western Utah Great Basin, formerly known as Crater Springs and Abraham Hot Springs, set in a stark and beautiful landscape of basin and range topography where geothermal heat flow associated with the Basin and Range extensional province brings hot mineralized waters to the surface in one of the American West's most geologically dynamic desert regions. The springs are managed by the Bureau of Land Management as public land and are accessible for free bathing in a series of natural and minimally developed pools, embodying the Western American tradition of wild hot spring discovery and use that has been central to the mythology and recreation culture of the intermountain West since the pioneer era. The siliceous mineral waters — enriched in silica from their circulation through volcanic and hydrothermal rock formations of the Basin and Range — emerge in a setting of remote desert grandeur, offering a primitive bathing experience far from the amenities of developed spa resorts.
