Things to do

Hot springs, dinosaurs and a red rock canyon

Thermopolis packs a lot into a small town. Here's what's close to your site.

2.5 miles

The world's largest mineral hot spring, colorful travertine terraces, a free state bath house and the Swinging Bridge over the Big Horn.

Just south

Head south on US 20 for one of the most beautiful drives in Wyoming, with sheer canyon walls, whitewater floats and guided fishing.

Through town

A blue ribbon trout river that runs right through Thermopolis. Wade it, float it, or book a guide in town.

In Thermopolis

Full-size skeletons, a working prep lab and dig site tours. Kids can sign up to dig for a day.

In the state park

A state-managed bison herd grazes the hills on the park's upper range, just northeast of town.

South of the canyon

Boating, fishing and swimming at Boysen State Park on the other side of Wind River Canyon.

Honoring the treaty with Chief Washakie, the state keeps soaking pools here that are free to use. Suit and towel rental available.

The two pool complexes in the state park have hot pools, hot tubs and water slides. Both are great for kids.

Wyoming's most impressive petroglyph site, with carvings that date back thousands of years.

Local history from the Hole-in-the-Wall Bar to coal mining, a country schoolhouse and a railroad caboose.

Big game and bird hunting are excellent around Thermopolis, with plenty of local guides and outfitters.

Mini golf, tennis courts, the Ritz movie theater and local restaurants are all a short drive away.
