Kelly Warm Springs

Kelly Warm Springs are located near Kelly in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming, just outside the eastern boundary of Grand Teton National Park, in a valley forever marked by the Gros Ventre Slide of 1925 — one of North America's largest recorded landslides, when 50 million cubic yards of rock broke loose from Sheep Mountain, damming the Gros Ventre River into a lake that catastrophically burst two years later, sweeping away the downstream village of Kelly and killing six people in one of the most dramatic natural disasters in Wyoming's recorded history. The warm springs here provide a gentle geothermal pool that is accessible year-round and famously inhabited by large trout visible through the clear warm water, making it a beloved stop for wildlife watchers and hikers in the shadow of the Teton Range. Soaking or wildlife-watching at Kelly Warm Springs in the grand sweep of Teton country is a quintessential Greater Yellowstone experience, combining geological drama with the serene beauty of this famous mountain landscape.
