Bathing in the Boiling River | Yellowstone National Park

We explore Yellowstone National Park in winter, a magical experience because it seems like we have the whole place to ourselves. We discover the Boiling River, a stretch of river where a hot spring meets up and empties out into it creating the perfect mixture of hot and cold, a natural hot tub in the middle of winter. We see elk, bison, and a moose and look for other wildlife as we roadtrip around the park.

Boiling River: Best Kept Secret In Yellowstone

If you visit Yellowstone National Park and are interested in experiencing hot springs in a very direct way, you won't want to miss Boiling River. This special place is maintained by the Park Service but not listed on official Yellowstone maps or marked with road signs. The popularity of Boiling River has led to some destruction of surrounding flora as well as rocks, so I think the Park Service intentionally tries not to over-market the area to visitors. It's described on the official National Park Service webpage, Mammoth Area Natural Highlights, in the section titled, 45th Parallel Bridge and Boiling River.

The yellowstone water in the hot sprigs can be very hot so be careful and the yellowstone temperature can be very cold in winter. Plan accordingly and make sure you can get kids changed out of wet clothes quickly :-)

4K Yellowstone Walks: Boiling River Hot Springs - Yellowstone - Virtual Walk Walking Treadmill Video

Please NOTE: due to Covid and recent Yellowstone Flooding, this trail and the hotsprings are no longer open or accessible.
In 4K City Walks: Boiling River Hot Springs - Yellowstone Park -Virtual Walk Walking Treadmill Video we take you down to the Northern option for yellowstone Entrances, the Gardiner entrance, and we walk out to the bathing area known as the “boiling river”. It’s a windy cold day with about a one mile walk return trip. The boiling river is the area around where the super heated water that does not emerge at Mammoth hot springs yellowstone, flows out of the rock and into the Gardner river. Every year, people pile rocks up to capture the hot water and keep the cold river water out, well mostly. This leaves several areas where visitors can sit and bath in the hot water. It can be tricky to find the magic spot where you aren’t getting scalded AND you aren’t freezing. Every spring, runoff closes the river and washes away much fo the rocks forming the pools. There is no alcohol allowed, nor nudity or crude behavior. They are open from 7 a.m to 6 p.m and park rangers do check. There are two parking lots and a pit toilet. No parking is allowed along the road nearby and the springs do get crowded. We highly recommend going early or late and during the weekdays.
It can be a real treat to sit in the river in january while the snow flies and bison or elk graze nearby. Eagles fly over and other animals may visit. This thermal area can get quite hot as some natural hot springs can. Also see other walk around Yellowstone mammoth hot springs at dawn.

The Gardner River (also known as the Gardiner River) is a tributary of the Yellowstone River, approximately 25 miles (40 km) long, in northwestern Wyoming and south central Montana in the United States. The entire river is located within Yellowstone National Park. It rises on the slope of Joseph Peak, Gallatin Range in the northwestern part of the park, and winds southeast through Gardner's Hole, a broad subalpine basin which is a popular trout fishing location. Angling on the Gardner is governed by Yellowstone National Park fishing regulations. After merging with Panther Creek, Indian Creek and Obsidian Creek, it then turns north and flows through a steep canyon where it cuts through a basaltic flow from approximately 500,000 years ago known as Sheepeater Cliffs. Below Sheepeater, Glen Creek out of Golden Gate Canyon and Lava Creek out of Lava Creek Canyon join the Gardner near Mammoth Hot Springs. The river crosses the 45th parallel in Gardner Canyon and is also home to a popular hot spring known as The Boiling River. The river continues north through Gardner Canyon and empties into the Yellowstone near Gardiner, Montana.
History
The river and the town of Gardiner were named for Johnson Gardner who was a free trapper in the early 19th century. In the 1830s, he worked northwestern Yellowstone and sold his furs to the American Fur Company. On September 13, 1869 the Cook–Folsom–Peterson Expedition entered the park region and crossed the river at its mouth on their way up the Yellowstone. On August 26, 1870 the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition entered what was to become the northern boundary of Yellowstone National Park at Gardiner and camped near the confluence before they crossed the river and proceeded south up the Yellowstone river. Both these expeditions did not explore the Gardner and thus did not encounter the geothermal features of Mammoth Hot Springs. The 1871 Geological Survey of the park region by F. V. Hayden did explore the Gardner and describe Mammoth Hot Springs, but the Mammoth area itself was named by an illegal concessionaire Harry R. Hohr who tried to claim land in early 1871 in the newly explored park region.
The lower few miles of the river is paralleled by the North Entrance Road Historic District.

Yellowstone Lamar Valley wildlife, spotting bears, bison, coyotes, elk + Boiling River wild swimming

This morning we took an early morning drive out on the Lamar Valley to spot wildlife, do a short but sweet walk, visited a few lesser known attractions of the park such as tower falls and a petrified tree. We also explored the Mammoth Hot Springs terraces, did a self guided walking tour of the historic workers houses area and spotted Elk. If you’ve not already seen that video, be sure to go check it out.

This day was so jam packed, I’ve split it across 2 videos. In the afternoon, we made our way down to the Boiling River – another area that the national park allows you to wild swim (or bathe in) for some wonderful wild swimming. The boiling river is aptly named and refers to the small waterfalls of scalding hot water that gush into the cold Gardiner river. Rocks have been strategically placed to allow the hot and cold water to swirl together leaving a feeling of being in a hot bath or natural hot tub.

We spent a relaxing couple of hours at the river before returning to the Mammoth Hot Springs area for a quick pit stop to buy some sandwiches for tea. Once stopped, several elk wandered onto the grass in front of us providing us with an unobstructed view – but this was only the start of what turned out to be one of the most epic evenings of wildlife spotting.

With sandwiches in hand, we headed back to the Lamar Valley for an evening wildlife drive, really hoping to spot a bear. We were in luck. Our first bear spotting involved a bison chasing it off, whilst our second spotting was of a mother bear and either 2 or 3 cubs – all of whom were being tracked by coyotes!

This has to be one of my most favourite travel days, and the evening experience on the Lamar Valley was the cherry on top of the cake.

RVing Yellowstone National Park | Day 2: Boiling River and Artist's Paint Pots

Inspired by National Geographic's Yellowstone Live event going on right now, we have decided to vlog our visit to Yellowstone in real time too! We're exploring Yellowstone for four days from August 5th-8th. There will be one episode for each day we spend in the park, and we're going to release them the day after we visit. So it's not quite live - it's live-ish!

For our second trip into the glorious Yellowstone National Park we decided to head north and find somewhere to get in the water. There are only a few areas that are safe (and legal) to swim at, so we chose the Boiling River area of the Gardner River. The Boiling River itself is WAY too hot to get into, but where it meets the frigid waters of the Gardner it is actually a really nice temperature to get into. It's only a matter of a few inches in either direction to go from wicked cold to super hot, but once you find the right spot it's pretty awesome.

Along the way we also made a quick side trip to the Artist's Paint Pots - an area absolutely covered in vibrantly colored steaming water and mud. Yellowstone is a pretty amazing place - come check it out with us!

Boiling River, Yellowstone National Park - 2004

Boiling River, Yellowstone National Park

Boiling river /Gardiner River hot spring bath /swim

Excellent free hot spring bath and massage at the boiling and Gardiner rivers near the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park. It is not marked or promoted as hot spring but it is. I guess the commercial hot spring shops do not want that because of fear of business loss.
You have to try to sit under the running hot water. It is the best massage I ever had - pounding, powerful, never ending yet comfortable...

PfeiffersGoWest Day 5 - Yellowstone National Park - Boiling River and Hot Springs and Geysers

We had to jump in to the Boiling River in Yellowstone National Park. The extremely hot water from the Boiling River flows continuously into the cold water of the Gardner River. The mixing of hot and cold allows you to find the spot that is the perfect temperature range for you. If you go to Yellowstone, don't pass up this little hike and don't forget to bring clothes so you can get in.
