Comments: Bathtub Spring is a water tank with a very slow drip;
Surrounding area looks good - dense scrub oak thicket, pinyon, juniper,
rounded boulders. Howe Spring is dry but surrounding habitat
also looks good. We walked from Howe to Myrtle Spring, which
is a slow dripping tap in a tank on a pinyon-juniper hillside.
The country between the two springs is very beautiful - picturesque
rounded rock formations and good pinyon-juniper woodland and
lots of scrub oak in the wash above Howe Spring.
