Top 7 Hot Springs In Jackson, WY - Visitor Guide

Hello dear internet reader and welcome to my article on the best hot springs near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Or the best hot springs near the Grand Teton National Park. And to be honest, it was hard to come up with a large list of natural hot springs around the area. To be honest, hot springs aren’t all over the place. I mean that’s kind of what makes them so cool and special right? If hot springs were all over the place, we wouldn’t think twice about them and we wouldn’t want to go see them. 

That being said, I did the best I could to find you hot springs near the area. But there are only a couple I could actually find myself. So to substitute for that, I am also going to include some guided tours that will take you exactly where you want to go in our massive national parks. And on top of all of that I will also hook you up with some places you can stop at to stock up on everything you will need for a day of hiking in a national park. And I’ll let ya know anytime anywhere on the list accepts our convenient and modern digital GiftYa gift cards. 

Wait, what’s GiftYa got to do with it?

And just like with all the posts here on GiftYa I feel compelled to remind you that a GiftYa is a digital gift card that can be sent within seconds right from your phone. This is especially true if you are out traveling and don’t love to carry cash around with you. Instead you can just carry your gift cards right on your phone that you take with you everywhere already. You don’t even have to worry about keeping track of the gift cards and the balances because your phone does all of that for you. There really isn’t a more convenient option when it comes to buying gift cards and gifts for yourself or others.

Before you go out hiking in the national parks, you will probably want to stock up on all the supplies you will need before you are an hour out into the hike and getting eaten by bugs. So be sure to stock up on bug spray, sun screen, and water before you head out into the woods. 

Here are a few places where you can stock up on outdoor essentials before you hit the hot springs:

Ace Hardware

Great Trusted National Brand to Get Lunch That’s All Wrapped Up

520 S Hwy 89 | Jackson Shopping Village | subway.com

If you need to grab some lunch for your 8 hour day out on the hiking trails then I would honestly recommend giving Subway a try. And on top of that, Subway gives you quite a bit of food for a pretty reasonable price, which is always helpful when you are already on a vacation or trip. And finally, I think Subway creates an unusually small amount of garbage compared to the amount of food you get. Which I find really nice cause it just makes your part in keeping the parks clean that much easier. 

“The best subway experience that I have ever had! The workers were so kind and hardworking. They worked quickly and efficiently. The food was soooo good and filled our hungry tummies. I will definitely be back!” - Yelp Review

1. Grand Teton National Park

There Are A Variety of Hot Springs At the Park

115 E Pearl | Ste 201 | gtnpf.org

Grand Teton National Park is pretty much the main attraction near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. And since it’s a giant national park, you know there are going to be some excellent hot springs somewhere in the park. The best thing you can do is speak with the staff of the park when you enter to find out where to go to find the hot springs they think are the best. 

And while you are looking for the hot springs you can also enjoy everything else about one of our incredible national parks. This means there will be all kinds of excellent camping, scenic views, and maybe even some wildlife! So I think it overall makes for the most fun trip if you are looking for hot springs. Because even if the hot springs end up being busy (and trust me, they usually are) you can still have plenty of fun exploring the park and hiking trails. 

“Amazing and beautiful. However if you are not much of a hiker than this park is more a drive by thing to do with beautiful views from the lookout spots” - Yelp Review 

2. Scenic Safaris

Offer Tours That Include Hot Springs Near Jackson Hole

1255 S HWY 89 | Jackson | scenic-safaris.com

Scenic Safaris is great because they offer guided tours through the national parks. So if you are trying to take a nice trip through the national park where you get to see everything in the most efficient fashion, then you are going to want to trust the professionals. They know exactly where all the best stuff is because they took the time to figure out what the best route is for their customers to see everything. 

I can tell you first hand that it can be difficult to find your way around the national parks. The maps are often not great/not up to date. And on top of that, most of the national parks I have been to have terrible cell phone service, so the GPS isn’t always an option. So instead of getting lost on your way to the hot springs around Jackson Hole, trust Scenic Safaris to take you right where you want to be. The national parks are huge and if you aren’t experienced in the woods, it’s easy to get lost. So trust a professional to take you on a path that takes you to everything you want to see, but keeps you from getting lost in the woods. 

“This was hands down one of the most inspirational and inspiring trips of my life! You can't put a price tag on the level of history and civilization you'll encounter on this glorious journey through mother nature's great outdoors. Priceless & Stunning!” - Yelp Review

3. Granite Hot Springs & Campground

A Hot Spring Located Right At the Campground

If you are looking for a hot spring that is super easy to find, then you are going to want to check out Granite Hot Springs & Campground. They have a campground with all the necessities you expect, but they are also located right next to a hot spring. And what honestly pairs better with camping than a hot spring that you can soak your aching muscles and bones in after a night on the hard ground and a day on the hiking trails? There’s not much else I can think of that goes better together than a camping ground and a hot spring to be honest so Granite Hot Springs & Campground rounds out my top 3 of best hot springs near Jackson Hole Wyoming.  

“Love this hot spring 50 mins SE of Jackson. There's a 10 mile dirt road to get there, but it's well worth the drive. There's a 5 min walk from the parking to the springs, so bring some shoes with soles.” - Yelp Review 

4. Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris

Guided Trip Through the Grand Tetons That Will Take You By the Hot Springs

650 W Broadway | Jackson | jacksonholewildlifeafaris.com

Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris run guided wildlife and photography safaris into the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. The great part about these safaris is that they will take you a bit off the beaten trail. The animals aren’t likely to be showing up where there is tons of human foot traffic. So having a guided safari that takes you off the trails is a great way to see them. 

However, it is also a great way to come across hot springs that aren’t going to be completely crowded by other tourists. And to be frank, our national parks are enormous and it’s very easy to get lost in them. So if you want to go off the beaten trail and see the stuff other people don’t see, then I would absolutely go with a guided tour. Don’t just go wandering off into the national park system and end up on the evening news ya know?

“We did a private tour with Peter and he did not disappoint! We saw elk, bald eagles, mountain goats, moose, and bison. Peter was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Thanks so much for the adventure!” - Yelp Review 

5 - Astoria Hot Springs

Beautifully Maintained Pool-like Hot Spring

25 Johnny Counts Rd | Jackson | astoriahotspringspark.org

Astoria Mineral Springs is a reservation-only hot springs located about half an hour from downtown Jackson Hole. This hot spring is beautifully maintained and is almost more of a pool than a hot spring. But that is why it's a reservation only hot spring. They don’t want it to be overcrowded and ruin the experience. So it's best just to let a few people in at a time so that way they can really enjoy the experience to the fullest!

“It was amazing after a day of biking to sit in the springs and relax. My wife loved every minute of it. I not so much, but would go back again in heart beat. It was nice to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The facilities were well kept and the pools were amazing.” - Yelp Review

6 - Granite Hot Springs Pool

A Developed Concrete Hot Spring

4400 S Little Horsethief Ln | Jackson | fs.usda.gov/recarea/btnf

The nice thing about this hot spring is that it has been intentionally developed in a prime location. So while you may have to pay a fee to soak in the hot spring, it is well worth it for the beautiful natural ambiance that surrounds the pool. It is situated right in the middle of a forest made up of enormous spruce, fir, and pine trees. So if you are really looking for an escape into nature this is the hot spring in Jackson for you!

“This was a wonderful spot and definitely worth the drive. Be mindful that you will need to drive about 10 miles on a gravel road. Bring your bathing suit, water, sunscreen, and snacks. The water was very warm when we visited in August.” - Yelp Review

7 - Huckleberry Hot Springs

Hot Springs In A Remote Location

John D Rockefeller Jr Memorial Parkway | Jackson | alltrails.com/huckleberry-hot-springs

This hot spring is located just south of Yellowstone and north of the Grand Tetons. These hot springs are not as developed as some of the others on the list, so you can expect them to be a bit muddier than the more elegant developed hot springs. But what you get in exchange is a remote location where you can enjoy the springs all to yourself! The only downside is that it does come with quite a bit of a hike on your part.

“Went at 8am. Saw both polecat and huckleberry hot springs. Soaked in huckleberry and it was lovely. Trail was a bit muddy and buggy and there was a river crossing. Easiest to cross at the wide part of the stream about halfway up.” - All Trails Review

That’s it for our guide to the hot springs in and around Jackson Hole, WY.

There you go you finally have it. A curated list of the best hot springs you can find near Jackson Hole, Wyoming and around the Grand Teton National Parks. It’s really difficult to know exactly where the individual hot springs are in a giant national park. So for that reason I made sure to include a variety of guided options so that way you can be sure you get to see what you went there for.

And to be honest, a hot spring doesn’t fill up a whole day. It’s fun for like an hour or so. So it’s honestly better off to have a day of other activities planned around the hot spring and that is exactly what the guided tours offer you!
