In the shadow of Wyoming’s rugged Gros Ventre Mountain Range lies Granite Hot Springs, a rare gem reachable only by snowmobile or dogsled in winter. Teton Tour Company invites adventurers of all ages—especially families and first-timers—to spend a half-day venturing through snowy forest trails culminating in a soak in naturally heated waters that can reach 112°F. This winter tour delivers a fresh take on the classic hot springs experience by blending invigorating outdoor movement with restorative warmth.
Located about 30 miles southeast of Jackson, Granite Hot Springs sits just shy of 7,000 feet in elevation and is surrounded by the vast Bridger-Teton National Forest. Early settlers first fashioned a pool here, later improved by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s to create the current soaking pool. In winter, the springs are accessible only via guided snowmobile rides, making this a unique way to witness Wyoming’s backcountry wilderness away from crowded trails.
Participants gear up with warm, waterproof snowmobile suits, boots, and helmets before embarking on roughly 20 miles of snow-packed trails. The ride itself reveals sweeping vistas of frost-coated pines and distant mountain peaks that define the Gros Ventre’s wild character. Upon arrival, the inviting warmth of the springs offers a welcome contrast to the crisp mountain air, soothing muscles and invigorating the senses.
Teton Tour Company stands out for its family-friendly approach combined with expert guidance that makes snowmobiling approachable for novices. Their complimentary pick-up and drop-off service in Jackson and nearby villages ensures stress-free logistics. With a focus on safety, comfort, and authentic Wyoming scenery, this half-day trip is a standout winter excursion that blends adrenaline and relaxation in equal measure. A soak here isn’t just about the warm water—it’s a chance to connect with the stillness of Wyoming’s high country in a way few other trips can offer.
