THIS SPRING IS IN HOT SPRINGS STATE PARK IN WYOMING. THIS IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST MINERAL HOT SPRINGS OPEN YEAR ROUND. THE SHOSHONE AND ARAPAHO GAVE THE PUBLIC USE OF THESE SPRINGS VIA AN 1896 TREATY. IT WAS A HEALING WATER. THERE WAS NO FEE ORIGINALLY. THEY HAVE RAINBOW TERRACES FROM THE MINERAL LADEN WATER THAT FLOWS OVER CENTURIES OF SEDIMENT. IN RECENT YEARS THIS UNIQUE BIG HORN RIVER SPRINGS HAS BEEN RESTORED IN RECENT YEARS AND A BRAVE SOUL CAN WALK ABOVE THE RIVER IN A SWINGING BRIDGE.
THERMOPOLIS IS GREEK FOR HOT CITY DERIVED FROM THE WATER OF THE BIG SPRING. THIS SPRING FLOWS 3.6 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER EVERYDAY AT A TEMPERATURE OF 17 DEGREES. THERE ARE 27 MILLION DIFFERENT MINERALS MAKING IT HEALTHY. IT IS NEARBY A WYOMING DINOSAUR CENTER WHERE THEY HAVE EXCAVATED DINOSAURS THAT LIVED 160 MILLION YEARS AGO.
MY MOM, HUSBAND AND I VISITED THIS THIS SPRINGS YEARS AGO WHEN WE TOURED YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. I REALLY ENJOY HOT SPRINGS OF ALL KINDS AS YOU CAN SEE BY MY OTHER BLOGS!
