East Thermopolis: US 20 Worland South - North
Few places in Wyoming have a history as closely tied to mineral hot springs as East Thermopolis. Set beside the Bighorn River, this small community occupies the eastern approach to Thermopolis, whose name derives from Greek words meaning “hot city.” The river runs north from nearby Wind River Canyon into the Bighorn Basin, a broad ranching and agricultural landscape bounded by distant mountain ranges. Across the river, Hot Springs State Park protects the mineral springs that made the area a destination; Wyoming received the spring reserve in 1896 under an agreement with the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes. East Thermopolis remains low-rise and dispersed, with homes and businesses following the road-and-river corridor rather than gathering in a dense centre.

East Thermopolis has served as a hot-springs community in Wyoming’s Big Horn Basin since the early 20th century. It stands beside the Bighorn River, just southeast of Thermopolis, where Hot Springs State Park preserves terraces created by mineral water. The park’s State Bath House continues a long-standing local tradition of public bathing in the warm spring water. Beyond town, the basin opens into wide sagebrush country framed by the mountains of north-central Wyoming. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Wyoming’s Big Horn Basin.

Wyoming stretches from the Montana border to its frontiers with Colorado and Utah, encompassing the high Rockies, broad basins, and Great Plains. The Continental Divide crosses the state, while the Wind River and Bighorn River drain contrasting sides of its interior. In the northwest, Yellowstone National Park—established in 1872 as the world’s first national park—and Grand Teton National Park place geothermal country and sharp mountain relief at the centre of Wyoming’s identity. Ranching remains integral to its open-country culture, alongside communities shaped by railroads, energy, and outdoor travel.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
