Nearby Attractions:
You could stay happily on-site at Chico Hot Springs for the entire week but are welcome to explore the picturesque landscapes surrounding the resort. Keep in mind that the week is packed with reviews, lectures, and Q&As from breakfast until dinner—it’s up to you to decide if you would like to explore more of what the area has to offer.

Chico Hot Springs is situated at the base of Emigrant Peak and is home to two outdoor natural hot springs that offer the perfect soaking temperatures. (Need we say more?) Additionally, the resort offers two restaurants, a saloon, spa, and plenty of outdoor activities such as snowshoeing, disc golf, mountain biking, and hiking. Explore local attractions on the Chico Hot Springs Website.

Chico’s location makes it ideal for wildlife-viewing, day trips to the north section of Yellowstone National Park (like the Boiling River) and surrounding areas. The closest town is Livingston, a 30 minute drive from Chico, a quaint town featuring numerous great restaurants, cafés, and bars.
