Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel & Cabins Spring Opening

Yellowstone’s north gateway wakes up early, and the spring opening of Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel & Cabins is a classic way to time a shoulder-season trip. Arrive as the elk start roaming town lawns, steam curls off the terraces, and families can explore Mammoth’s boardwalks without peak-summer crowds.

Base yourself here for easy access to Mammoth Hot Springs, the Yellowstone River corridor, and wildlife-rich valleys. It’s a practical launch point for road trips deeper into the park as more lodging and campgrounds open through May.
