All of that plus a visit to a natural hot spring. Immersing oneself in a steamy hot spring on a cold winter day surrounded by snow and mountains is, quite possibly, heaven on Earth. It’s downright blissful. It’s the kind of experience we hope everyone gets to have at least once, and if you decide to take a trip to Jackson this season, the opportunity is ripe for you.

Manicured, Simple and Satisfying: Granite

Located 30 miles southeast of Jackson, Granite is among the most popular hot springs to visit. The spring itself is completely natural, but there is a developed concrete pool to accommodate everyone more easily. It’s widely known and easy to find; about an hour from Jackson.

For The Wild-at-Heart, Astoria Hot Springs

What gives away the location of Astoria is the distinct smell of sulfur as you approach. This one is a bit more exciting when it comes to finding it because it isn’t developed and requires following the river upstream for a while. You’ll be treated to stunning views of the Snake River Canyon. Be careful, though! This hot spring is known for being extremely, well, hot!

Family Friendly and Pools Aplenty: Heise Hot Springs

For those willing to drive an hour and 20 minutes from Jackson will get treated to a well-rounded hot springs experience. At Heise, there’s a warm, cold, and hot pool, as well as other activities during the warmer months. It’s located in Idaho and has more of a touristy feel, which often makes it popular among families and less popular among those craving a more natural setting.

“Hippie” Hot Springs

Exceptionally scenic, at the base of a waterfall, and not well-known, “Hippie” Hot Springs is well worth the $6 entrance fee. Hardly larger than a hot tub, it’s the ideal spot for an intimate group or a romantic rendezvous. The water is clear with a   hue. Just lovely!
