Thermal river
The Boiling River is located in northern Yellowstone on the border of Montana and Wyoming. We can talk about the first place that can be visited from the north if I do not count the entrance town of Gardiner. This place is famous for this thermal river. People made ponds here. The natural hot tub is a great place to stop and relax. Here, the water from the Boiling River, which is over 60 ° C, mixes with the Gardner River, which has a few degrees up to 10 ° C due to its high altitude.

There is an inconspicuous car park, located from the North Gate on the left. It goes upstream around the Gardner River. It is about 1 km here. It is necessary to take into account that it is necessary to wait a while. It's usually full. It is a very pleasant relaxation in these ponds and sometimes there are also horse splashes in the form of cold water or when hot water drips on your back. We really enjoyed this. I can say that to taste the ice water in the Gardner River, which is really cold, and climb into this pool, it will come really beautifully warm. The 60 ° C Boiling River is really hot.
