Nearby springs
Olympic Hot Springs
Natural hot springs in Olympic National Park's Elwha Valley, where a resort once stood. Since the Olympic Hot Springs Road washed out, visitors walk or bike from the Madison Falls gate to the Boulder Creek Trailhead and then hike 2.4 miles, about 10.5 miles one way in total. The park enforces a year-round burn ban in the area and asks visitors to store food carefully.
Goldmyer Hot Springs
A 20-acre wilderness preserve in the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley, owned by the nonprofit Northwest Wilderness Programs, where hot water flows from a small cave into three cascading pools beside a creek-fed cold pool. Entry is capped at 20 people a day, by phone permit or cash walk-in, and the springs are swimsuit-optional. Visitors drive a rough forest road and then hike or bike about 4.5 to 5 miles from the Dingford Creek gate.
Scenic Hot Springs
Privately owned, minimally developed hot springs in the Cascades about 10 miles east of Skykomish, reached by a steep 2-mile trail with 1,100 feet of gain. Visits are by advance reservation only, in daylight, and the two natural stone pools are unchlorinated and clothing optional. The two springs that feed them measure about 111-114°F and 118-122°F at the source.
