If only this was about a city in Greece! Thermopolis is actually the name of the town in Wyoming where my family broke up the nine-hour haul from Yellowstone to Colorado. And what a drive it was! Wyoming is twice as large as Pennsylvania, but with less than 1/22 as many people. Our diagonal drive through the state had us exiting through southeastern Wyoming, a seemingly endless stretch of flat land with one gas station, one diner towns few and far between.
On the side of the mountain, "World's Largest Mineral Hot Spring" is spelled out with white rocks.
Located in Hot Springs County, Thermopolis' claim to fame is having the world's largest mineral hot spring. We visited the Star Plunge, where we jumped from a twelve-foot-high diving board into a pool of 98 degree mineral water.
