Diana's Punchbowl

Diana's Punchbowl, also called the Devil's Cauldron, is a geothermal feature located on a small fault.

Geography

It is located in central-western Nevada, in the Monitor Valley, about 30 miles southeast of Austin, Nevada in Nye County. Diana's Punchbowl is just east of Monitor Valley Road about 9 miles south of Monitor Ranch.

Access

Often listed as a hot spring on maps, it is not suitable for human bathing but is often considered by tourists to be beautiful to see. Located about 20 feet down in a perfectly round crater on a small hill, the azure-colored pool is boiling hot. A small hot stream runs north out of the side of the hill.
