Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / November 2007Mudbaths at Yellowstone
Whenever I visit Yellowstone I always take a dip in one of the back country hot pools and do a good mud pack. I always felt much healthier and noticed colds, sores, lesions, infections and other ailments clearing up quickly. Now there is scientfic evidence of this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/thehealthnews.html?in_arti cle_id=490288&in_pag I'd recommend to any of you health conscience people to frequent hot springs, mud baths, vapor caves and the like. You'll feel refreshed, invigorated and have great skin! Does anyone have any recommendations on such places they have visited? I'd love to add some places to my itinerary.

If he gets caught he'll get a ride in a Ranger car, get to spend some time in the Federal Jail in Mammoth, he'll get to meet the Federal Magistrate, pay a nice fine and most likely be banned from the park.

Bob, Didn't you see that the OP is only TROLLing? If the "idjit" actually *did* what he claimed, his remains would have been spread out for the bears a long time ago. <G> >> Yup.

Can we swim in the hot springs? A. It is illegal to swim in park thermal features (it damages the resource and is very unsafe), but you may swim in bodies of water fed by runoff from thermal features. An established spot is on the Gardner River two miles north of Mammoth on the North Entrance road; this spot is known as Boiling, or Hot, River. It is only open during daylight hours, and it temporarily closes during periods of high water." This answer includes mud pots or mud type thermal features. Please note the word "illegal". It does not refer to a sick bird. Signature"You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, 'My God, you're right!

Bathing is not swimming. Even the first superintendant of the park used a hot spring for bathing. Steve > You are correct Bob, it is illegal to swim in mud pots. Sitting in > them is not swimming.

If a free, totally legal, hot soak is what you desire then go to the State Bath House in the State Park in Thermopolis, WY, about 60 miles South of Cody. If you want to spend time in a Federal lockup, go ahead and try your BS on a Park Ranger in Yellowstone National Park. <Hint: the Park Ranger won't "buy" your BS!> >> You are correct Bob, it is illegal to swim in mud pots.

The unspoken rules are don't advertise them, don't abuse them and keep them clean.They are far away from the flocks of tourists. Thanks to you, fool, they will probably be shut down. Randy Clevis You are right about that Randy. http://wikitravel.org/en/Hot_springs "The presence of hot springs in Wyoming should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Yellowstone National Park and its amazing assortment of geothermal features, but the sites there are better suited to photography than to immersion. The springs within Yellowstone are generally off limits to bathing, and the prohibitions are vigorously enforced, at least in the main tourist areas." At least in the main tourist areas. I've never seen a ranger within 5 miles of any of the back country hot springs I've bathed in. Not all are dangerous and do respect nature. I have found that the springs do a good job of repairing themselves should a mishap occur. One can take a dump in the hot spring and it will dissolve and disappear within minutes (I don't recommend that if you just got in, but after an hour in the water things do relax and one may be too lazy to exit the pool). It's amazing what the mineral water can do for the skin. Here's a photo of my wife's buttocks before a dip in the hot spring: http://tinyurl.com/32haub And a shot taken after soaking for about an hour: http://tinyurl.com/2sprvo The difference is plain to see, the skin has definitely improved. I don't plan to advertise the locations of the springs just as I wouldn't advertise where outfitters take the trophy bull elk on the park's boundaries. They got to make a living too. Thanks to the kind people who emailed me about the geothermal resource maps and books available from the USGS. That was really helpful, here's just one helpful publication I found there: http://tinyurl.com/3c96ml Thanks to those with the helpful responses. Steve |
