Granite Hot Springs Pool: A Wyoming RV Traveler's Guide

The Forest Service describes Granite Hot Springs Pool as a developed, concrete hot spring pool set amongst huge spruce, fir, and pine, perched just above Granite Creek Falls. The drive in follows Granite Creek Road — a bumpy dirt road that the agency notes is a long, scenic approach if you are not already camping in the area.

The pool keeps two distinct seasons: a summer stretch from late May through the end of October, and a winter window from early December into mid-March, when the road reaches the pool by snowmobile, dog sled, ski, or fat bike. Wheeled-vehicle access on Granite Creek Road opens later in spring, so the warm-weather window depends on when the road clears.

RV travelers often pair the pool with Granite Creek Campground, which the Forest Service places in the valley between high peaks near the Gros Ventre Wilderness and along the designated Wild and Scenic Granite Creek. Always confirm current pool hours, road status, and campground reservations on the official Forest Service and Recreation.gov pages before you go.
