Azure Spring

Azure Spring is a hot spring in Wyoming that discharges mineral-rich water into pools of varying temperatures. The water flows naturally from underground geothermal sources and creates distinct zones based on heat levels.

Local Native American tribes used the thermal waters for traditional healing practices long before European settlement arrived. The site continued to attract people interested in its natural properties throughout subsequent centuries.

The spring serves as an educational site where visitors learn about geological processes and the interaction between thermal waters and mineral formations.

Paved pathways and designated viewing zones allow you to explore safely while protecting the delicate thermal features. Wear sturdy shoes and watch for temperature changes between different pool areas.

The water hosts specialized heat-loving bacteria that create the spring's distinctive blue-green coloring. These microorganisms thrive only in the hottest zones, producing color patterns that shift with the seasons.
