The Nature Lover's Guide To Seattle

You might be desperate for anything with the word ‘hot’ in the name, given the rather significant drop in temperature along the PNW. Goldmyer Hot Springs is about a 30-minute drive outside of the city center, and you only have to hike roughly 4 miles to reach it. Waiting for you is nothing short of a steaming natural spring, with temperatures averaging 100­-120 degrees. Pack a suit or strip down (you’ll be sure to see some adventurers who have chosen the latter) and let your toes and fingers defrost while the snow falls quietly around you. We recommend making a reservation two weeks in advance as this spot has become quite popular in recent years. Goldmyer Hot Springs [Photo via @marty_stano]
