Wind River Canyon

We headed up north through the center of Wyoming and down the beautiful Wind River Canyon. Spectacular place, and a beautiful drive. Our goal was Thermopolis, home of the worlds largest hot springs pool. This place is amazing. The town itself is not that exciting and the scenery has been better, but the place is packed full of hot springs. We stopped at the State Bath House State Park. No overnight camping, but it has a nice facility with showers and indoor and outdoor hot tubs that are free. There is also a lot of concessions in this park including water slides, hotels, spas and steam baths, and the ultimate final resting place ... an old folks home. After a quick stop and reading the rules that only allow 20 minute soaks we went a mile farther up the highway to an old funky place.
