Hot Springs in Wyoming

Are there hot springs in Wyoming?

Yes. Wyoming has hot springs you can soak in at Thermopolis, Saratoga and near Jackson, plus Yellowstone's thermal features like Mammoth Hot Springs, which you can only look at.

Soaking in Yellowstone's thermal features is illegal, and Boiling River, the park's legal soaking spot, has been closed since the 2022 floods. Outside the park, Thermopolis has a free state-run bathhouse and Saratoga a free town pool.
