Cat’s Guidebook to Paradise Valley
Outdoor Recreation
The Park is 25 minutes south of Wesley’s House. The north entrance is open year-round — Mammoth Hot Springs, Boiling River, Visitor’s Center, and plenty of trailheads and pretty views. In winter, enjoy snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and maybe even wolf spotting. It’s easy to pop down for a day or half day of adventuring in the Park.
