Mickey Hot Springs, Geothermal hot springs in southeastern Oregon, United States.
The primary feature consists of a deep thermal pool measuring 20 feet in diameter with water temperatures reaching 206 degrees Fahrenheit.
In 1992, one of the bubbling pools transformed into Oregon's sole natural geyser, projecting water streams reaching heights of 8 feet.
Scientists conduct research on thermophilic bacteria colonies that form distinct color patterns based on water temperature variations throughout the springs.
Visitors need to drive 6 miles on gravel roads from Highway 78, with Burns serving as the nearest town located 33 miles away.
The surface around Mickey Hot Springs displays white sodium borate deposits, creating a mineral coating that resembles snow across the ground.
