Elkhorn hot springs is a rustic resort area located in the Pioneer Mountains of southwestern Montana. The spring amenities (cabins, pools) were redeveloped in the 1980s into a series of outdoor-indoor pools and saunas. The springs and cabins are now open and accessible year round.
ELKHORN HOT SPRINGS is a year-round hot springs resort which offers two outdoor hot mineral pools, a Grecian sauna, a restaurant, and a bar. Guests enjoy hiking, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, plus downhill skiing at nearby Maverick Mountain. Accommodations include rustic cabins, modern cabins, or lodge rooms.
Ski from Thanksgiving to the end of March on 20 kilometers of groomed
cross-country trails laid out on a marked cloverleaf, to the top of Comet
Mountain, or to the old Elkhorn Mine. For experts, there is an on-your-own
mountaineering trip to a ghost town.
