Overview

A short drive from Yellowstone National Park and Bozeman, Chico Hot Springs Montana, established in 1900, continues to delight visitors and locals with its two, open air therapeutic geothermal pools (96- and 103-degrees, respectively). Hot Springs are formed when the earth's molten rock superheats water far beneath the surface and minerals are dissolved along the water’s path to the surface. Covering 152 acres, Chico Hot Springs is a perfect place for families, couples, and weary travelers to relax and enjoy some old-fashioned western fun and hospitality.
