Wyoming has at least 14 documented hot springs, centered on the mineral pools of Thermopolis and the mountains around Jackson. 2 are free and 12 are paid pools or resorts. The Hot Springs State Park Bath House in Thermopolis and Granite Hot Springs Pool near Jackson are two of the best known, one a free public bathhouse, the other a scenic pool at the end of a canyon road.
Thermopolis in central Wyoming holds the densest grouping, built around Hot Springs State Park and its giant mineral spring. The free Hot Springs State Park Bath House, Star Plunge, and Hellie's Tepee Pools draw bathers to the terraced travertine along the Bighorn River.
The Jackson area and the southern gateway to Yellowstone form a second cluster, where Granite Hot Springs Pool, Astoria Hot Springs, and Huckleberry Hot Springs near Flagg Ranch sit in the mountains and river valleys of the Teton country.
Southern Wyoming adds the free Saratoga Hobo Hot Pool and the Saratoga Hot Springs Resort on the North Platte River, giving road-trippers a soak among the hot springs in Wyoming between the mountains and the plains.
Wyoming is anchored by Thermopolis, home to one of the largest mineral hot springs in the world, where the state maintains a free public bathhouse by law. Beyond it, the springs spread across Teton and Yellowstone country, pairing soaks with some of the most famous scenery in the Rockies. Most sit at high elevation and stay open year-round, so winter soaking under snow near Jackson and Thermopolis is a signature Wyoming experience, though mountain roads can require care in the cold months.
Highlights are drawn from the hot springs documented in this directory. Others may exist across Wyoming's remote mountain backcountry.
