Evan A Weitz works to restore high fidelity audio equipment as a senior lab technician at Absolute Sound Laboratories in Minnesota. In 2017, Evan A Weitz also began leveraging his education that includes a PhD from the University of Minnesota as a tutor for Achieve Academics. Outside of his professional work, he advocates for the preservation and maintenance of hot springs across the states of Montana, Idaho, and Washington.
Also known as thermal springs, hot springs result from a combination of the earth's pressure and geothermally heated water. Pressure forces the water to the surface, which escapes in the form of steam or liquid water that is warmer than the surrounding air. Hot springs typically form in one of two ways. Water that seeps deep enough into the ground eventually comes into contact with rocks heated by the Earth's normal temperature gradient. This process, known as convection circulation, requires water to reach depths of a kilometer or more. Alternatively, hot springs in volcanic areas result from water that contacts shallow deposits of magma. In these cases, a type of hot spring known as a geyser may form.

As a tutor with Achieve Academics, Evan A. Weitz specializes in helping students prepare for the math and science portions of their ACT exams. Additionally, Evan A. Weitz is passionate about the maintenance and development of natural hot springs, particularly those within the states of Idaho, Montana, and Washington. Goldmyer Hot Springs, about 60 miles outside of Seattle, remains one of Washington State’s most pristine natural hot springs. Thanks to strict regulations and a remote location, Goldmyer offers visitors a beautiful respite in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Maintained by the nonprofit Northwest Wilderness Programs, Goldmyer Hot Springs offers crystal clear springs reaching up to 111 degrees. Nestled among old-growth forest, simply getting to Goldmyer is a challenge in itself. After traversing 15 miles of unpaved Forest Service roads, for which a large truck or SUV is suggested, visitors will have to hike nearly five miles to reach the springs. Once there, guests will find campsites, two outhouses, and picnic tables. Be sure to make a reservation prior to your visit, as only 20 guests are allowed per day to help preserve the area’s natural beauty.
