MonitoringLocationDescriptionText Thousand Springs consists of a group of springs in a ushaped valley. The series of springs starts at about the park boundary and forms a stream that is tributary to Union Creek. The springs flow from the creek banks which are covered with pumiceous and tuffaceous volcanic deposits. The true source of water from these springs cannot be observed, the springs probably issue chiefly from the permeable pumice which overlies dense lava rocks.
