Baker Hot Springs, Thermal pools in Juab County, United States.
Three concrete pools fed by mineral springs allow visitors to adjust water temperatures by mixing hot and cold water sources at the site.
The site, previously known as Crater Springs and Abraham Hot Springs, emerges from Fumarole Butte, a shield volcano that dates back one million years.
Local residents maintain the natural character of these thermal pools by keeping them accessible yet undeveloped, preserving their rustic state.
Located 40 minutes north of Delta, the springs are reached via a 7.2-mile dirt road that accommodates standard vehicles without specialized equipment.
The spring water surfaces at 180 degrees Fahrenheit and contains high levels of manganese and sulfur, creating distinct mineral deposits around the area.

Hot springs form where geothermal activity or groundwater systems naturally heat water. This collection features such springs across volcanic zones, mountain ranges and remote areas on all continents. Each location has distinct mineral content and temperatures shaped by its underlying geology. In Iceland, the Blue Lagoon offers mineral-rich water in a lava field near Grindavík, while Deildartunguhver in the west produces one of Europe's most powerful hot springs. Pamukkale in Turkey's Denizli region displays terraced limestone pools formed by calcium-rich thermal water. The Széchenyi Baths in Budapest draw water exceeding 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius) from nearly 4,300 feet (1,300 meters) below ground. In Wyoming, Yellowstone's Grand Prismatic Spring shows intense colors produced by its size and thermophilic bacteria. Japan hosts numerous onsen, including Takaragawa in Gunma Prefecture along a river and Yubatake in Kusatsu with visible high mineral output. Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano is known for macaques that bathe there. In North America, the collection spans Banff Upper Hot Springs in Alberta, Chena Hot Springs in Alaska and smaller sites such as Baker Hot Springs in Utah. Grutas Tolantongo in Hidalgo, Mexico, combines warm pools with river flows in a canyon. New Zealand's geothermal zones appear at Champagne Pool in Waiotapu and Hell's Gate Park near Rotorua.
