Just eight miles from up from Gardiner, Montana, Yellowstone’s North Entrance, this natural soaking destination offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of Paradise Valley. The air smells of pine and river rock, and bald eagles often glide overhead as you relax into pools of mineral-rich water.

Families are welcome, and children under 4 get in free. It’s simple, affordable, and breathtakingly beautiful—with no time limit holding you back. Just you, the mountains, and the Montana mineral water.
