My husband and I love stopping here after a nice day of cross country skiing in the park. Its on the way out and unless you have heard about it, you miss it. There is usually a lot of people because its free and pretty cool. You have to move around to find your perfect spot but its pretty neat... More

We were staying in a rental house in Gardiner so this site was conveniently close. Trailhead is located just south of the 45th parallel by a bridge over the Gardner River and the "boiling river" (basically an area where a hot spring empties into the Gardner) is a short easy hike. Make sure to wear shoes (no flip flops -... More

One of the most unique experiences I had in the park. My title has to do with locating the ideal spot in the water so you are not too hot or too cold. Once you find your spot get a heavy stone and put it on your lap so you don't have to fight the current. I went in September... More

Unfortunately we found this attaction when we did not have our costumes or a towel. Nevertheless worth a visit - and for the foreigners amongst you don't do want we did and tell an American couple that we were going for a paddle!!!

We took an hour or so and stopped here at the recommendation of a friend who had visited YNP last year. Glad we did. Don't be frightened off by the scary warning signs of all of the wonderful diseases you can catch in the river...we survived (so far). After a quick change in the rental minivan (ok, not so quick),... More

It's really not that hard to find and TripAdvisor gave you great directions. You can also use Google Maps if you want. This is seriously one of our top experiences in Yellowstone. The walk is not bad at all. The hot and cold water is truly a magical/weird experience. The view is also amazing. We literally stayed there for a... More

Long walk to point where the visitor can take a dip. Water was cool with a few warm inflows on the right, and seemed better towards the north end....where the stones encircle the area. The signage is scary for diseases to avoid....

I visited the Boiling River with six of my friends. It is a bit of a walk in but worth every step. You find a nice spot in the river where the boiling water meets the cold. This river is becoming very popular and when you experience it you will see why. After a long day of sightseeing it is... More

The park service doesn't really promote this spot, but it's fantastic. Enjoy one of the few spots in the park where you can swim. The boiling river enters the frigid Yellowstone river and you just find the perfect temperature and enjoy.
