Plan a 1-2 stop to refresh at Signal Mtn. Jump in the lake or pay to shower in facilities that do ot require camping to use. Have your quarters ready to keep the hot water flowing. Check wifi at the Signal Mtn Store and go in to purchase craft beer, lattes, and high quality prepared foods. If you are too tired to cook this is a great spot. Better yet, mosey into Signal Mtn Lodge Bar and have a seat for NACHOS and a MARG. If you have an essential sports NBA/NFL game that is a not-miss chances are it will be on in Signal's Bar. PLUS CAMPING NEARBY BOTH FREEEE & PAY

Great spot to park for a few hours and relax. Walk 10 minutes north to main hub of JH without being in the hectic zone of NO PARKING on Jackson's Main Streets. If it is Wednesday park on street and enjoy outdoor food and vending at the People's Market. Shady spots to rest at the Bouler park next the ball field. Yes, there is free climbing/bouldering and next to Snow Kings Coaster and Mini Golf.

Yellowstone Swimming Holes #2: Boiling River Hot Springs The second thermally heated area legal for swimming is the Boiling River. Thermal waters believed to originate from Mammoth Hot Springs pour into the river from the bank at 120-140°F (49-60°C). Stones are stacked in the Gardiner River to create pools. Here cold river water mixes with the hot thermal water making a perfect environment for your soaking pleasures. How to get here: Between Gardiner and Mammoth. Enter North Entrance and head south. In 2.9 miles (4.6 km) you will find parking areas on both sides of the road. Don’t be surprised if the parking is full. Possibly you'll park down the street. Walk 1/2 mile down dirt.
