What this number is, and is not

109°F is the maximum surface temperature measured at the vent during the USGS/NOAA thermal springs survey (1965–1980). It is not a current reading, and the temperature of any pool downstream of a vent is almost always lower.

This page also records nothing about access. Land ownership, legal entry, trail conditions, and whether a usable pool exists are all outside this dataset. Confirm with the managing agency before setting out.
