Mickey Hot Springs is a small hot spring system at the north end of Alvord Desert just east of Steens Mountain in southeastern Oregon, United States. There are several natural bubbling mudpots and steam vents. The system contains at least 60 vents, 11 of which are dry.[1] The hydrothermal system is in its waning stages of existence.[2]
Each vent has a characteristic temperature ranging from 25 °C (77 °F) to 100 °C (212 °F) with the average about 77 °C (171 °F). The water pH is neutral to slightly alkaline.[1] An ecosystem of thermophilic organisms exist in the springs, separated by temperature stratum.[2]
