Queens Laundry
Queens Laundry is a hot spring in Yellowstone's Gallatin County section, reached by a hike of under two miles. The water on record is hot enough to scald. West Yellowstone is the closest town on file. Public park land, open. The name is the most interesting thing on record, and the record says nothing about where it came from.
The nearest road is not named on file, only that the spring sits about 1.7 miles from it. Moderate elevation for Yellowstone, a bit over 7,200 feet. Winter snowfall is deep, close to twelve feet, and the annual average temperature is in the mid thirties. Park Service ground, national park designation. Nothing on file about terrain between the road and the spring.
Dress for cold even in shoulder season. December through February are listed as the best months, which means skis or snowshoes given the snowfall. Scalding water, so give the edges a wide berth. The closest campground on record is the Big Springs group area over in Island Park, Idaho, about twenty miles away, and no fee is listed for the spring itself.
