About Ferris Fork Hot Springs

One of Yellowstone's most remote soakable hot springs, requiring a multi-day backcountry trek through the Bechler region. Hot water cascades down a forested hillside into the Ferris Fork of the Bechler River, creating a series of warm pools in a pristine wilderness setting that few visitors ever reach.
