About us

Soak, explore, repeat—your journey starts here.

Hot Springs Atlas wasn’t born in a boardroom. It started on a quiet mountain trail, steam rising in the distance, and the discovery of a tucked-away pool that felt like a secret the earth was keeping. That’s where the idea sparked: what if finding these incredible places didn’t take hours of scattered research, word-of-mouth tips, or pure luck?

So we built something better—a curated, ever-growing atlas of the world’s most soothing, wild, and unforgettable hot springs. A place where adventure meets ease, and where planning your next soak becomes part of the joy.

Built for Explorers, Dreamers, and Soakers

Hot Springs Atlas is more than a directory—it’s a travel companion. We’re here for the sunrise hikers, the wellness seekers, the road trippers, the families looking for a new weekend tradition, and the solo travelers in need of a peaceful reset.

We believe that nature has a way of healing, grounding, and awakening something in us—and hot springs are one of its most magical gifts. Whether you’re venturing into the forest, chasing waterfalls, or stumbling upon a spring-fed tub on a snowy morning, we want to help you find your version of awe.

What We Do (and Why We Love It)

We research, map, and share detailed info on hot springs around the U.S. and beyond—everything from legendary spots to hidden gems. We make it easy to filter by vibe: rustic or luxurious, family-friendly or secluded, free or resort-style.

But beyond the logistics, we tell stories. Every spring has a personality, and every journey to reach it becomes part of the experience. Through guides, itineraries, and user stories, we aim to inspire you not just to go, but to feel something along the way.

We’re not just here to point you to a pin on a map—we’re here to help you create memories worth retelling.
