About Sand Spring
Sand Spring offers a quietly warm retreat tucked into Nevada’s arid landscape. This 74°F warm spring holds layers of history, once serving as a vital stop along the Pony Express route. The unspoiled surroundings create a raw, authentic atmosphere that invites you to connect with the state’s rugged past.
Getting There
Reaching Sand Spring requires some effort, with primitive trails leading you through desert terrain. There’s no formal parking lot—expect to park alongside dirt roads and hike a short distance to the spring. This journey keeps the crowds at bay and preserves the spring’s natural character.
What to Expect
The spring’s gently warm waters provide refreshing relief without overpowering heat. The setting is quiet and isolated, perfect for soaking under wide-open skies. Facilities are minimal, so you’ll find no developed pools or amenities, just pure nature and historic significance.
Tips for Visitors
Visit during cooler parts of the day to avoid the desert heat and bring plenty of water and sun protection. Since this is a primitive site, pack out all trash and tread lightly to preserve the landscape. No entrance fees apply, but respect for the spring and its surroundings is essential to keep its legacy alive.
