About Upper Warm Spring
Upper Warm Spring in Nevada offers a raw and tranquil soak in naturally heated waters reaching 106°F. This primitive warm spring is nestled in Nye County’s rugged landscape, providing a peaceful retreat surrounded by arid desert vistas and native vegetation. Its undeveloped nature preserves an authentic, undisturbed atmosphere for those seeking solitude.
Getting There
You can reach Upper Warm Spring with drive-up access, so no hiking is necessary, though parking is limited and may require patience during busier times. The spring lies along a less-traveled route, encouraging a quiet visit without large crowds or heavy infrastructure.
What to Expect
The warm water is steady and inviting, perfect for long, calming dips as desert breezes rustle nearby shrubs. The primitive setting means you won’t find changing facilities or amenities—just a natural pool shaped by mineral deposits and time. The atmosphere remains peaceful, often visited only by stock users and a handful of other travelers.
Tips for Visitors
Visit year-round when temperatures are comfortable for outdoor soaking, but bring plenty of water and sun protection as shade is sparse. Since fees and formal regulations aren’t clearly posted, respect the environment by packing out all trash and leaving no trace. Clothing is optional here, allowing you to fully embrace the natural experience.
