Hot springs are one of the best off-mountain winter activities in Jackson Hole. Soaking in naturally warm, mineral-rich water while snow falls around you is about as Jackson as it gets, and it’s an easy way to add variety to a ski trip, rest day, or non-ski itinerary.
Below, we break down the two most popular options, Astoria Hot Springs and Granite Hot Springs, including what they’re like, how to plan, and what to bring.
Astoria Hot Springs
Astoria Hot Springs is the easiest hot springs experience near Jackson, and a great pick if you want something comfortable, family-friendly, and simple to plan. It’s located just south of town and offers multiple pools with different temperatures, plus a children’s pool and a cold plunge.

Granite Hot Springs
