Trails: Thermopolis

The success of the multi-use trails in Hot Springs State Park demonstrates to Town of Thermopolis officials, business leaders, and community members the positive impact on the economy and quality of life that a well-planned and professionally-built trail system can have. The goal of the project is to create a Thermopolis Community Trail Plan that evaluates and meets the needs of Thermopolis residents for year-round close-to-home recreational trail systems, and which provides visitors with added outdoor recreation opportunities. We continue to hear from the Chamber of Commerce and locals about how thrilled they are to see visitors in town with bike racks now, and how it has helped boost their local economy.

How we helped

Wyoming Pathways is partnering with the Bureau of Land Management, the Hot City Outdoor Alliance, and the Town of Thermopolis to develop a vision for the future of soft surface trail development in and around Thermopolis. TPT Trails also managed the 2019 development of the well-received new T-Hill Trail in Hot Springs State Park, and in 2022, built a trail on Round Top to connect to additional trails connected to T-Hill.

Next steps

We continue to work with Hot City Alliance and the town of Thermopolis to plan and build new trail systems for their community. Wondering how to help? Volunteer or donate.
