If you're wondering why Montana has so many hot springs, here's a brief description from the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology.

Rainwater finds its way down geologic faults on the sides of the valleys, where it circulates at great depth. The heated water then emerges along other faults as hot springs.

Montana is one of 14 western states that have natural hot springs. In the western portion of the state, you can find them on the edges of some mountain valleys. Occasionally,  hot springs can be found at higher elevations, but the majority of them are found at the edges of valleys throughout western Montana. There are over 260 natural and developed geothermal sites in the state.
