Nestled in the foothills of the Cascades, Goldmyer Hot
Springs might be the wildness experience you and your spouse are looking for! Hike or mountain bike to the oasis on the
Middle Forks Trail through one of the last remaining old-growth forests in the
PNW (some of the trees are over 900 years old).
Once you arrive, check-in with the caretakers, and get ready to unwind
and relax in one of the three hot springs or cold pool. The three hot pools are all interconnected
and the temperature decreases as it moves down each pool, with a temperature
range from 111 to 104 degrees. One of
the favorite spots is the pool located in a cave.
Only 20 people per day are allowed to use the pools, so it’s
best to call ahead and make a reservation.
Keep in mind that amenities are limited.
They include an open-air cabana, campsites, picnic tables, outhouses, and
a bike rack. The price is $15 per day
and $5 to camp overnight.
Hiking is a great way to unwind, unplug, exercise, and
reconnect. Taking the time to breathe
fresh air and enjoy the sights and beauty of nature is sure to be a rewarding
experience. Soaking in the hot springs
can help soothe aching muscles, and help with stress relief and
relaxation. This trip may be just the
thing to feel relaxed and rejuvenated.
