Take a daytrip to see the Hot Springs State Park, going south on Highway 20 through Worland
and down to Thermopolis. There you will find the world's largest hot springs.
Take a few hours to enjoy the scenic hot springs, terraces, and the swinging bridge across the Bighorn River.
Then swim, slide, and soak in the warm mineral water. The terraces were known and used for years by Indians,
who believed that the waters were beneficial to health and that they could keep a warrior invincible in battle.

Chief Washakie of the Shoshone tribe, who built a personal bath house there, and Chief Sharp Nose of the Arapaho tribe, sold the hot springs to the United States in 1896 with the provision that a portion should be forever reserved for the use and benefit of the public. At Thermopolis each year in early August the presentation of the springs to the white man is re-enacted in the "Gift of the Waters Pageant." When the United States released a one square mile tract of land to the state in 1897 to establish Big Horn Hot Springs State Reserve, the Reserve became the first of Wyoming state parks.
Big Horn Hot Springs still flows over the Rainbow Terraces.
A winding, concrete walkway atop the terraces of sulphurous pools provides a view of algae
and mineral formations on the bluffs overlooking the Big Horn River.

Drive through the park and see the Buffalo herd.
If time allows, see the Wind River Canyon which is south of Thermopolis.
