Meadow Hot Springs Utah

Meadow Hot Springs are a cluster of natural geothermal pools on private land near the small agricultural community of Meadow in Millard County, central Utah, where sulfurous volcanic water from the Great Basin's volcanic geology fills three natural circular pools of extraordinary clarity — their perfectly transparent mineral water revealing the pool bottoms at considerable depths in the high desert sagebrush landscape of the Sevier Desert. The springs are celebrated among Utah hot spring enthusiasts for the rare combination of warm transparent sulfurous water and the open sky of the central Utah desert, where the vast empty landscape of the Sevier Desert stretches to distant mountain ranges in every direction under one of the darkest and most star-filled night skies accessible from a paved road in the American West. The geological simplicity of three perfect natural mineral pools in the open sagebrush desert — without any commercial development, infrastructure, or facilities — preserves a genuinely primitive geothermal experience characteristic of the undeveloped Great Basin volcanic landscape.
