Almo

Tracy’s General Store

Located in the back of the store are a couple hot water showers open to the public. This is a very old and quaint store that’s worth checking out, even if you don’t need to wash up. Super friendly staff, no time limit, clean! Be sure to bring your own towel. Excellent spot if you’re on your way to City of Rocks.

Blackfoot

Jensen Grove Park

Located near the restrooms near the A-frame building. Cold water only. Apparently Jensens Lake has swimmers itch so these are often used after swimming (use soap.)

Very quaint laundromat with two private shower stalls open for guests. Cheap price, surprisingly clean with lots of hot water.
