About Secret Valley Hot Springs
Secret Valley Hot Springs offers a warm, soothing soak nestled in Wyoming’s rugged Rocky Mountains. This primitive hot spring provides an authentic connection with nature, surrounded by towering pines and dramatic mountain vistas that make the quiet warmth especially memorable.
Getting There
Accessing Secret Valley Hot Springs requires a moderately challenging hike through forest trails in Park County, near Yellowstone National Park. There's no official parking lot, so plan to leave your vehicle at a trailhead and prepare for uneven terrain on foot.
What to Expect
The water pools at Secret Valley are gently warm, inviting you to ease into the natural rhythm of the remote setting. Expect a peaceful atmosphere with few visitors since it’s off the beaten path. Facilities are minimal—no restrooms or developed changing areas—reinforcing its primitive character among Wyoming swimming holes.
Tips for Visitors
Arrive in late spring through early fall for the most accessible conditions; winter snows can make the trail impassable. Bring sturdy hiking shoes, water, and be prepared to carry out all trash to respect this pristine environment. There are no fees, but practicing Leave No Trace principles is essential at these hot springs in Wyoming.
