The Guided Sled Dog Tour In Wyoming That Takes You Straight To A Relaxing Hot Spring

No matter how much we love winter, spending our days shoveling and snowshoeing to get the mail can get a little tiring. This winter, make it a point to treat yourself to a trip through the snowy woods of Bridger Teton National Forest to relax at Granite Hot Springs, one of the most remote hot springs in Wyoming. Oh, and put down the snowshoes, because this is one trip you'll want to take on a dog sled.

This winter, make it a point to take a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Granite Hot Springs - via dog sled! It will be one of the most memorable winter getaways in Wyoming you could take.

Jackson Hole Iditarod Tours was founded by Frank Teasley who has run the iditarod eight times. Frank has finished as high as sixth in the race and won the Leonhard Seppala Humanitarian Award for the best cared for team in 1989.

Now, Frank's Sled Dog Tour company ensures his retired dogs have a place to relax and still sled, and his younger dogs cut their teeth on familiar trails. There are 170 Alaskan racing sled dogs here at any given time.

These friendly, well-trained dogs will pick you up at 8 a.m. for a full day out on the trails. Enjoy a hearty lunch before continuing on to the Granite Hot Springs, one of the most beautiful and spectacular hot springs in Wyoming.

Granite Hot Springs has been a local destination for years, and in 1935, the Civilian Conservation Corps reinforced the pool and added public facilites. In the winter, the pool rises to a toasty 112° F.

You'll be heading deep into the Bridger Teton National Forest about 30 miles southeast of Jackson. Now run by the United States Forest Service, you'll find a campground, changing room, information booths, and a deck here.

Soak in the hot water from the springs around Granite Creek and take in the privilege of being surrounded by huge spruce trees, evergreen furs, and ancient pine forests. This may be the most picturesque hot springs resort in Wyoming.

Soaking in the Granite Hot Springs after a long day of mushing is the perfect way to relax and treat yourself to a spa day. You'll be so much more relaxed on your breezy ride back!

You can still access Granite Hot Springs in the winter without dogs. Snowmobile riders, skiers, and snowshoers all make the trek each day. Most will agree, though, that there's nothing quite like mushing up to these hot springs in Wyoming behind a dog team.
