Lost Trail Hot Springs Resort

2. Lost Trail Hot Springs Resort

40mi from Salmon Field Office

Gallogly Hot Springs, also known as Lost Trail Hot Springs since the 1970s, offers a unique retreat for travelers crossing the Continental Divide at Gibbons Pass. Nestled in a secluded area, this natural hot spring has served as a peaceful resting spot for those embarking on the challenging ascent of the old Indian trail, which climbs approximately 2,000 feet over just three miles. The soothing waters provide a perfect respite before tackling the strenuous journey ahead. The history of Gallogly Hot Springs dates back to 1892 when a woman built a cabin to keep her invalid son close to the healing waters. Although she only stayed for about two years and left the cabin unfinished, her efforts marked the beginning of human connection to this tranquil site. In 1894, Mr. Denning became the first to channel the hot water through a pipe to his comfortable cabin, which featured a cozy stone fireplace located about a quarter-mile from the springs. Unfortunately, fate intervened when a tree fell and crushed his cabin while he was away, prompting him to relocate. Today, Gallogly Hot Springs remains a hidden gem, inviting visitors to experience its natural beauty and therapeutic waters. The surrounding landscape offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, exploring nearby swimming holes, and enjoying the serene environment.

Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Salmon Field Office adventure.

This site was beautiful! Lynda was so kind and helpful. There is a nice trail near the cabin and is easily accessible (it is steep though!). The cabin was perfect, the pictures don’t do it justice. Our dog loved the fenced in area. It’s also the perfect place to look at the stars. Highly recommend!

What a hidden gem! Excellent hosts. Cabin was perfect. Amazing views and there is a ton to explore nearby. We especially loved just sitting on the porch, reading and drinking coffee/tea. Would def recommend!

Weekend Trip to Oxen-Le-Fields Montana

Lynda responded well to my questions and was a great, friendly host. The views were vast and beautiful. The cabin was just right for me and my husband - coffee, views, and trails was all we needed. The porch was sweet, and even in the cooler hours, felt warm enough with a blanket and the sun to sit and enjoy. Thanks Lynda!
