Think you need tons of money for a memorable vacation? Think again! There are lots of great escapes right here in the Equality State. One such place is Thermopolis. A small town with a lot to offer, it’s the perfect destination for your next in-state getaway.
Boasting incredible natural beauty, along with great attractions and eateries, Thermopolis is, not surprisingly, a popular weekend getaway.
Miles of hiking trails wind through the park, making it easy to explore. There are also plenty of benches, so you can easily soak in the scenic surroundings.
But you can do more than visually soak in the park’s beauty. You can literally soak in it, thanks to the park’s free bath house, where the water is always 104 degrees.
After exploring Hot Springs State Park, consider visiting the nearby Star Plunge and Hellie’s TePee Pools. Both water parks, they have indoor and outdoor pools, slides, hot tubs, and steam rooms.
Continue your Thermopolis adventure with a stop by the Wyoming Dinosaur Center. A world-class facility, it boasts one of the largest and most unique fossil collections in the world.
Even if you’re not familiar with the shop, you’re likely familiar with its products. The buffalo robes donned by the main characters in “The Hateful Eight” were custom-made by Merlin’s.
