Hot Springs County, Wyoming
Hot Springs County is in central Wyoming, north of Casper. You know that smell? Sulfur. That’s how you know you’re in Hot Springs County. This place is all about the water. Yes, the hot, mineral-rich kind.
Thermopolis, the county seat, is home to the world’s largest mineral hot spring. People come from all over to soak in these healing waters. This county also has some wild scenery.
Rugged canyons, colorful badlands, you name it. The Big Horn River cuts right through, creating some prime fishing spots. Ranching is big here too so you’ll see plenty of cattle grazing on the open range. The county is small, population-wise, but that just adds to its charm.
