Seasonal Guide
Every season transforms the hot spring experience. Here's where to go — and what to expect — throughout the year.
Winter
"Steam rising against snow — the ultimate contrast soak"
Winter is prime soaking season. Snow-dusted mountains, frozen air, and steaming mineral pools create an experience unlike any other time of year. Many resorts offer their best ambiance — and thinner crowds — between December and February.
Bear's Tips
- Book lodging early — winter weekends sell out fast at mountain resorts
- Bring a warm robe or towel for the walk between pools
- Check road conditions before heading to high-elevation springs
- Northern Lights are visible at Chena Hot Springs (AK) Nov–Mar

Surrounded by 13,000-ft peaks and ice-climbing routes — the 'Switzerland of America' is stunning in winter.
