Corwin Hot Springs

On the north bank of the Yellowstone River just outside the gateway town of Gardiner, Montana — the historic northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park — Corwin Hot Springs occupies a dramatic position in the Yellowstone River canyon. The basalt walls of the canyon, the roar of the river, and the silhouette of Electric Peak on the horizon define one of the American West's most striking thermal settings.

The springs flow at 40 °C, a confident heat that delivers immediate physical comfort after a day in the backcountry. Their sulfurous mineral character brings the earthy, distinctive scent of volcanic origin, and the mildly acidic pH of 6.5 is typical of sulfurous source waters. Access conditions at this private property have varied over the years; visitors should confirm availability before travelling. For those who gain entry, soaking in sulfurous water with the Yellowstone canyon unfolding around you ranks among the most evocative thermal experiences in the entire Northern Rockies.
