Best time to soak: Fairmont Hot Springs Resort
Soaking feels best when the air is cool. From October to April average highs around Anaconda stay at 34 to 57 °F, with nights down to 15 °F. From November to April lows average 15 to 28 °F, so paths and decks around the pools can ice over and dirt roads may close.
