Olympic Hot Springs

The Olympic Hot Springs Trail is a 34.1-kilometer moderately traveled out-and-back route that has hot springs and is classified as moderate. It is located near Port Angeles, Washington. The trail is best used from May to October and is mostly used for hiking, biking, camping, and backpacking.

 

The trek is primarily made up of a long abandoned road that has been turned into a wide trail. To encourage plant growth, the old asphalt has been removed and replaced with shredded wood, resulting in a smooth and pleasant route.

The ancient highway gives way to a narrower trail as you get closer to the hot springs. At Crystal Creek, you’ll cross a brand-new suspension bridge. After the bridge, you’ll enter a level meadow at the top of the slope (once a parking lot). Follow your nose to the hot springs and keep right at the fork. Keep an eye out on both sides of the trail, since some of the nicest ponds are hidden among the trees on both sides of the trail.

The main 16 kilometers road to Olympic Hot Springs is closed due to the two washouts, but you can transform it into a day bike uphill with a brief 3.5 kilometer hike to the hot springs, or a weekend bike and hike at a magnificent campground that used to be part of a 1920s resort. Instead of hiking out, get back on your bike and coast the entire way downhill for 16 kilometers. Along the journey, you’ll cross the remains of an old dam with a spectacular perspective of the valley. It’s worth the uphill bike Adventure, believe me.

• There is a cost to enter Olympic National Park. The fees are based on the number of vehicles or motorcycles. The charge is per person if you enter on foot or by bike. A park-specific annual pass is also available. For the most up-to-date rates, please visit the park’s website.

• Pedestrians, bicycles, and leashed dogs are welcome. The Madison Falls parking lot are available, but space is restricted (the path has been updated to reflect this route). The first 9 miles are paved and suitable for bicycling.)

~> Elwha river on the way to the Olympic hot springs! Site of the worlds largest dam ever removed!!!
Nothing quite like a long hike with a long time friend, 12 or so miles up, with this epic view half way. Multiple pools to choose from when you get there and some lovely frozen camping. Highly recommended, and let me know if you want a hiking buddy<3. I’m feeling very grateful for my peps=)

We might be hot springs addicts at this point 🤷‍♀️
______
Yesterday was an all sport adventure to get to this spot. Part bike, part bike carry through the woods, part hike. It was a sufferfest uphill with one of our bikes stuck in two gears. Flying down the mountain on the way back was worth it though. I found myself yelling "Life is so freaking good!" And indeed it is.

Adding to my collection of outhouse drawings...I’m always drawn to the elemental simplicity of these structures and the pure, functional aesthetic.

Plus, everyone always needs some quirky bathroom art. Check the link in my bio to browse hundreds of sketches and paintings from my more than three years living and creating art on the road.

10/31-11/1/20 ID: Phyllis’ right hand is holding the iPhone for a selfie. Her right arm has a pura vida bracelet on and her world map tattoo is visible. Her hair is pulled into a bun. She’s lying face forward inside one of the soaking pools at the Olympic hot springs. At the edge of the pool are piled up rocks that create the pool.

Yesterday we made the 22 round trip hike up into the mountains to soak in the hot springs 🌿 it was quite the trek but so worth it in the end, this was also taken after I slipped and almost went down into a creek and now I have a shoulder injury.

A song “straight from the source” of hot springs...
The first part came to me soaking in the Olympic Hot springs last November. Forgot about it, until I found myself at another warm springs, this time on the Big Island (with a whole long crazy story of synchronicity involving calling kiragoboom on the wireless coconut - really does work - and then running into her at Pohoiki beach and finding the “Queens Bath”), and I remembered that hot spring song nugget and Kira and I added two other parts to it. Same earth, same heat source, different portals. 
Got to visit one of my fav hot springs in Oregon the other day and then shortly thereafter cross paths with Kira, so figured I’d make a video of it!
Straight from the source, delivered to you, via Samara and Kira and the #Acapellaapp and Instagram. 
Grateful for the opportunity to visit these sacred earth portals...truly a well spring of warmth, love and song! .
