I frequently drive by this place, and never knew what it was. I finally stopped to check it out, and it is a pretty cool little geo-twinkie (a place you never would have known existed, unless you geo-cache).
I was originally going to place a large cache here, but was unsure about the area. I feel like this should be a DAYLIGHT CACHE ONLY. Let me know if ya’ll think the kids would like this area, and I could upgrade the cache and re-hide. For now, it is a micro with only a logbook. BRING YOUR OWN PEN. The following info is from the UGS website regarding the area. Take some time and read all the plaques that are in the area, pretty interesting little place. Park in the white building's parking lot and walk to the cache.
Do I have to travel all the way to Yellowstone, or can I see beautiful hot springs here in Utah?

Wasatch Warm Springs. No, over 100 hot springs adorn Utah. In fact, a wonderful hot spring, named Wasatch Warm Springs, is within walking distance of downtown Salt Lake City. Wasatch Warm Springs is the southernmost hot spring, in a series of four, located along three miles (5 km) of the Warm Springs fault zone. From north to south, the individual hot springs are Becks, Hobo, Clark, and Wasatch. Collectively this area is known as the Warm Springs fault geothermal area.
The City of Salt Lake has restored Wasatch Warm Springs and its accompanying wetlands, and is in the process of completing a new northern section of Warm Springs Park. Informational placards describing the history, ecology, and geology of the springs should be installed in time for the park's dedication this spring. The springs are viewable year round and are especially intriguing on a cold, snowy winter day. While stopping to view the springs is well worthwhile, bathing is no longer permitted.
