About Hot Spring Basin Group

Hot Spring Basin Group in Wyoming offers a raw, elemental experience with its gently warm waters nestled amid rugged natural surroundings. These warm springs, part of Yellowstone’s dynamic hydrothermal system, invite you to connect deeply with the earth’s geothermal energy without any frills or modern alterations.

Getting There

Access to Hot Spring Basin Group requires a moderate hike through forested terrain, so prepare for uneven trails and natural obstacles. There is no developed parking lot nearby, so parking is limited to roadside spots at the trailhead. Bring sturdy footwear and expect a quiet, isolated journey.

What to Expect

The water maintains a steady 72°F, providing a soothing warmth that isn’t overpowering yet refreshingly comforting. The setting is primitive—no facilities, signage, or pools built for soaking—offering a pure wilderness encounter. Crowds are rare, which enhances the sense of solitude and connection with nature.

Tips for Visitors

Visit during shoulder seasons or weekdays to avoid any increased traffic. Pack out all trash and tread lightly to preserve the delicate environment. There are no entrance fees, but respect the fragile ecosystem and adhere to Leave No Trace principles to keep this Wyoming swimming hole pristine.
