Presentazione generale
Thermopolis
Hot springs, mineral terraces and fossils in the Bighorn River Valley.
Hot Springs State Park, Wyoming Dinosaur Center and Legend Rock give the most telling landmarks of Thermopolis. Together they form a destination where natural spaces, riverscapes and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Nature and scenery
Hot Springs State Park
Hot Springs State Park Place Thermopolis direct contact with burning mineral waters, channeled to basins, terraces and bath buildings. Between steam, colorful deposits and bridges on the Bighorn River, the park mixes accessible swimming, geothermal curiosity and dry landscapes in the centre of Wyoming.
Culture and heritage
Wyoming Dinosaur Center
The Wyoming Dinosaur Center exhibits remarkable skeletons and fossils, including an Archaeopteryx, and is distinguished by its nearby excavation sites. In Thermopolis, the visit goes beyond the museum hall: it also shows how bones are discovered, cleared and placed back in the history of ancient environments.
Must-see place
Legend Rock
Legend Rock features hundreds of petroglyphs carved on a long wall of Wyoming, with human, animal and spiritual figures, sometimes very ancient. The site requires a slow and respectful visit: not all images are visible, but they are a rare testimony of the rock art of the Plains.
Nature and panorama
Wind River Canyon
Wind River Canyon accompanies the road between Shoshoni and Thermopolis in a corridor of dark cliffs, crossed by the river and the railway. The rock layers close against the roadway give a spectacular crossing, particularly interesting for those who like to read geology from the window.
