Peaceful Near Hot Springs

Ten miles north of Thermopolis, WY, is a small turn around parking area situated in the rolling terrain of western Wyoming.   Wouldn't recommend coming out after dark if it's your first time here, as it's hard to find.  But when you do, this is a very quiet and remote boondocking area. There are no bathrooms, or water close by so come prepared.  And bring your solar power, there's plenty of it. We found the lot to be a little un-level and bumpy but had a few quiet nights here.

Evidence of weekend activity -- lots of spent ammo, a few old appliances used for target practice and some random burn piles indicate that Friday or Saturday nights might get a little rowdy. This might be best enjoyed mid-week unless that’s your thing. 

Hiking, or mountain biking opportunities abound, as well as the nearby ruins of an old mining operation. While these structures are private property, the BLM two tracks and walking trails wind through the remains.   Super cool to check out!

Thermopolis is the largest town in the region and offers all the services you’d expect, food, restaurants and even a natural food store. The downtown state park offers some really great hot springs for soaking. There are three different places offering multi-temperature pools and water slides for the kids. Great place to spend the afternoon and grab a shower. Cell phone service dropped out a few miles back down the road, but was available if you walked up to the south ridge.
