Some of the most unique geothermal features in Wyoming aren’t in Yellowstone National Park, but instead, they’re hiding in a small town in the middle of the state. Hot Springs State Park in Thermopolis is a little-known state park that’s worth a visit any time of year.

While many visitors to Wyoming spend their time in Yellowstone looking for Hot Springs, they're truly missing out on the best springs in the state - in Thermopolis!
