In the Baker Hot Springs geothermal pools, you may sit, soak, and relax. This secret sanctuary is located about an hour and a half outside of Bellingham, in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.
The drive to get to these remote hot springs is more difficult than the trek. Drive cautiously, as there have been numerous reports of the road being in poor condition. Traveling down North Cascades Highway and Baker Lake Road will bring you to Forest Road 1130, a service road. You’ll arrive at the trailhead by this route. Expect gravel instead of tarmac and plenty of potholes, but the reward is well worth the effort. (It’s best to avoid going in the winter because the road can be challenging and even inaccessible.)
The Springs is a 1.0-kilometer out-and-back walk with hot springs near Concrete, Washington that is suitable for hikers of all abilities. The trail is open all year and is popular for hiking, walking, nature trips, and bird viewing. This trail is also suitable for dogs.
You’ll see many trails going from the clearing after you reach the end of the road. One of the rocks will be spray-painted with the words “Hot Springs” written on it. You’ll reach the natural hot springs after about a half-mile on this easy trail.
The springs are normally empty and waiting for you due to the remoteness of this location. The steam rising from the motionless water beckons you in.
Soaking in the pools acts as a mud bath, as the natural sediment in the warm water helps to relieve aches and pains while also detoxifying the skin. You’ll have to put up with some sulfuric odours, as with many natural hot springs.
The main pool is roughly three feet deep and can accommodate about ten people. The smaller pool is barely around two feet long and crests the ankles. So invite some pals to the Baker Hot Springs for a pleasant break from the stresses of everyday life.
Baker Hot Spring used to feed into a cedar-lined pool, but it was finally decommissioned due to vandalism and high bacteria rates. The cedar pool was photographed in old hiking guides, and there was a changing hut, outhouse, and picnic tables in 1980. The spring is also mentioned in a number of recent hot springs guides.
many other trails and areas of interest are close by. Start by stopping at the Rainbow Falls viewpoint, which is about a half-mile away. Hike Shadow of the Sentinels, a half-mile circle with interpretive signs explaining ecological relationships and historical facts about early residents.

This Sunday visited last hot springs on my list, yay. #bakerhotsprings So far I’ve been to and I know in WA:
.
▪️Scenic hot springs (needs to be reserved)
▪️Goldmyer hot springs (needs to be reserved)
▪️Olympic hot springs (wild, free)
▪️Solduc hot springs (resort)
▪️Baker hot springs (wild, free)
.
Heard about Gamma hot springs, but since it’s 29 miles one way without actual trail, it doesn’t count))) Do we have more in WA? I think no, we don’t.. It’s time to explore Oregon I guess 😂#mtbaker #hotsprings #hotspringswashington
Had the Baker Hot springs all to ourselves and it was absolutely wonderful amym.joyful ❤️

🥾 — PARK BUTTE LOOKOUT and BAKER HOT SPRINGS 57 / 55 — 🥾
Sedro-Woolley, WA
7/31/22
Views, views, views! Mt Baker, Mount Rainer, the Cascade Range- all seen from the cutest fire lookout perched on a stone cliff. (If you are the first to arrive for the day, you can sleep overnight there). Along the way are rushing waterfalls, wildflowers, an alpine lake. The last section to the lookout is steep but the work-to-reward payoff is huge!! Another FAVORITE 🤩! (If you have more than one favorite can it really be a favorite?)
But first….we started the day with a trek to a hot springs in the forest. Started the hike to the lookout around 3 pm. Wanted to watch the sun do it’s magic end-of-day thing at the summit. Which meant it was dark by time we got back to our car. Such a fun fun day.
Yes…I’m a little crazy 😜…brought a recently finished quilt flimsy with me to the lookout for a few pics…. I mean…I’ll never have views like this out my own bedroom window 😂
8.1 miles (lookout)
1.2 miles (hot springs)
2020 feet elevation
10/5 🥾
3 minute video on my YT Butterscotch and Pine showing more of the hike

First day of 2021 was 👌🏼 #happynewyear friends!
So many firsts last year, so many lessons learned, so much I realized I had taken for granted. It was a year nobody will forget. Here’s to a new year, fresh starts, new possibilities! 😊
2021 Let’s GO!

In celebration of earth day. Another picture from our trip out west.
Drove on the sketchiest road to find these natural sulfur hot springs, it was well worth it. Earth is a pretty neat place to explore, take care of it, it’s the only one we have. 🌎🌍🌏

Decided to trek outside the city and visit a natural hot springs. It was a unique experience, we got to mark it off our bucket list, had a lovely hike, and met a naked old guy. 😆😅 #hotspring #hotspringswashington #mtbaker #mtbakernationalforest #bakerhotsprings #packitinpackitout #navigatingnerds #hike #northcascadesnationalpark #nationalparkgeek #daytrip #washingtonstate #travelgram #travelblogger #travelers #someonecomegetyourgrandpa
Wenn man in das Gebiet der Baker Hotsprings reinwandert, fühlt man sich als wenn man in einer anderen Welt ist. Der mineralreiche bunte Boden ist knusprig hart und strahlt solch eine Wärme ab, dass wir obwohl es draußen nur knapp über dem Gefrierpunkt war, sofort zum schwitzen anfingen. Und dann überall um einen herum heiße Quellen, die aus dem Boden sprudeln, kleine heiße Bäche in verschiedensten leuchtenden Farben.

Took the family out camping this weekend. Found Baker hot springs in Delta UT. I was cool to see, but we are probably not going back. The No-see-ums were bad and nothing much else to do down at that spot. #that1dirtyguy #camping #deltautah #bakerhotsprings #familytime
Cannot think of a better way to spend the last morning of spring! Bright and early hike to break in the new shoes with my favorite hiking partner bishopfamilyof5 #bakerhotsprings #obozfootwear #goodbyespring #bringonsummer #adventureswithbonnandjess #swiftcreektrail
Spent the weekend at the Hot Springs and started our week at Sarah’s 👌🏻
