Travel Instructions

A word of caution: You must go under a railroad overpass to get into the park. If your vehicle is over 12 feet high, you will need to take another route. Call for further instructions. Thermopolis Chamber of Commerce:

◊ From the south (Casper, Shoshoni, Riverton, Lander, parts beyond) – Come through Wind River Canyon. Stay on highway 120 until you get to the one stoplight in town (about five miles). Continue through the stoplight for about one mile. The road curves and splits. Stay in the right lane and go past a small Visitor Information building (on your left). It houses the Chamber of Commerce, and you may wish to stop. If not, continue straight ahead.

◊ From the north (Cody, Powell, Meeteetse) – Drive south on highway 120 to the one stoplight in town. Turn left and proceed as described above.

◊ From the northeast (Worland, Basin, Buffalo, Sheridan) – From Sheridan, I-90 south to Sheridan, then southwest on Highway 16 to Worland. From Greybull on 16 E south to Worland. From Worland, Highway 20 south to Thermopolis. The last mile is uphill with a drop into the Basin. You can see the state park to your left. Highway speed drops drastically – watch! On the left side, take the first cutoff to your left and it will take you to the railroad overpass. The small building near the cut-off that says “Visitor Information” is the Chamber of Commerce. They are happy to help — they have lots of brochures on the community, the park and the festival. Otherwise, proceed under the railroad overpass.

◊ Inside Hot Springs State Park – When you go under the railroad overpass, you are in the state park immediately. To your right is Hot Springs Hotel. To your left is Park Plaza. You should see tents and signage just past the motels.
