Sleeping Child Hot Springs

Sleeping Child Hot Springs lies in the Bitterroot Valley east of Hamilton, Montana, in a pastoral setting along Sleeping Child Creek. The springs discharge geothermal water at around 42°C into outdoor soaking pools, with simple cabin accommodations available nearby. The valley's mix of ponderosa pine forest and open rangeland creates a quiet, unhurried atmosphere that appeals to visitors seeking a genuine Montana escape rather than a polished resort experience.
