A natural hot springs in Idaho is the perfect spot to unwind and recharge. After hiking several miles, relax in a series of pools perched atop a mountain.

For a year-round scenic hot springs retreat, head to a resort town nestled deep within the serene wilderness of Idaho, right off of Highway 30.

There are immaculate hot springs, delightfully odd museums, occasional good eats, hikes with uninterrupted summit views and a breathtaking canyon to explore.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little will participate in the May 3, 2023 Rededication of the Challis Hot Springs, which after 130 years gets new life as a unit of the Land of the Yankee Fork State Park.
