Entry No. 26 — the Helena file — filed under: haunted
Boulder Hot Springs Inn & Spa
A rambling California Mission-style hotel from 1910 wraps around geothermal pools fed by springs a miner first tapped in the 1860s. The indoor plunge runs a scalding 104-106 degrees while the long outdoor pool sits cooler and seasonal; the cavernous old building is widely rumored to be haunted. It now doubles as a quiet retreat center, so the vibe is faded-grand rather than waterpark.
The move: Soak in the historic geothermal plunges, then wander the creaky 1910 hotel hallways and grounds before driving back.
📍 Before you go Pools generally open daily 10am-8pm (call ahead, hours vary seasonally); outdoor pool is seasonal. About 30 miles south of Helena.
