Stephen -
I believe Smoke Jumper Hot Springs were  named because the thermal area 
made a good reference point for the  firefighters.  Lee W's "Nomenclature" 
would likely have more  information.  Hard to tell exactly from the photos, but 
from the lat/long  provided, description, and general look of the area - 
yes.  Looks like  you found them!

Gazers: 
On July 24, I hiked to Summit Lake and  beyond.  I had the impression the 
Smokejumper Hot Springs  and Summit Lake Hot Springs were near the trail past 
Summit Lake.    
Summit Lake Hot Springs was easy to see from the trail,  and I originally 
thought that I found Smokejumper Hot Springs just over a  ridge on the north 
side of the trail.  I fortunately  encountered a hiker from Washington who 
had an excellent map showing  Smokejumper Hot Springs and a coordinate grid 
marked on the map.   I put the coordinates into my GPS and headed off into 
the  forest.   
I’m not sure how Smokejumper Hot Springs were ever first  located, because 
even when I was less than 100 yards away, I still couldn’t  see any sign of 
hot springs.  The springs are in a large  depression lower than the rest of 
the forest floor.  I  marked the coordinates at the edge of the basin at N 
44° 25.240’ and W 110°  57.216’ at an elevation of 8630 ft.  I have placed 
photos at  
_http://emp.byui.edu/otts/recreation/ynp/summit_lake/summit_lake.html_ (http://emp.byui.edu/otts/recreation/ynp/summit_lake/summit_lake.html)  
if  others would like to look and verify that they are of Smokejumper Hot  
Springs.
