In almost the very middle of the state is Spencer Hot Springs. While the springs aren't really developed, you can sit in a toasty warm pool and enjoy a magnificent view of the Toiyabe Range. Access is easy. From the "Loneliest Road In America," U.S. Highway 50, just east of Austin, take Nevada Highway 376 south for about 1/4 mile. Turn left onto a gravel road (look for the Toquima Cave Historic Marker sign) and travel southeast about 5 1/2 miles. Turn left onto a dirt road. This leads to the spring, which is perched on the side of a hill.
