"Limp in, leap out," is the motto for Hot Springs, Montana, a town that has many hot springs that people find healing, according to USA Today. Throughout history, the hot springs have been a popular destination for people looking to soak in the waters for their healing effects.
Hot Springs, unsurprisingly, offers many hot springs, and before the area was settled, the Pend d'Orielle Indians would use the hot springs, referring to them as "Big Medicine."
The town is now the home of approximately 550 residents. It used to have a population of about 1,000 people and several hotels.
The Salish and Kootenai Tribes built a bathhouse in the late 1940s, which has long been closed, though today there are other options for people looking to soak in the hot springs.
The area is located in a valley that causes it to have its own microclimate. Kalispell and Missoula, both towns that are relatively close, usually have cooler temperatures than Hot Springs, which see less rain and more sun.
Hot Springs offers a few different hotel options, such as the Symes Hot Springs Hotel and Mineral Baths, which offers pools that range in temperature from 95 to 107 degrees.
Alameda's Hot Springs has private hot mineral baths in the suites, so you can soak without any crowd.
After your hotel is booked, and you've had a chance to soak in the hot springs, there are some other things to do in the area.
If you need to stretch after all the soaking, there is also a yoga studio, Earth & Sky Studio, which offers both private and group classes.
There is also the Towanda Gardens Nursery & Trading Post, which offers annual and perennial plants, as well as in-season fresh produce and local and fair goods. It's also open for picnicking, camping and relaxing.
There are options for dining, including the Rainbow Zen Organic Juice Bar and Fergie's Pub & Grill.
The area is a great place to come to relax and rejuvenate.
