Olympic Hot Springs Washington

Olympic Hot Springs – Port Angeles, Washington

November 7, 2020 By //  by William J. LePetomane

Olympic Hot Springs starts out with a family-friendly hike that all ages can comfortably handle. The path is wide with an elevation change of 3,100′ and approximately 10 miles long (20 miles out and back). Along the way, you will cross a couple bridges and a beautiful waterfall known as Madison Falls seen below.

The smell of sulfur will slightly offend yours nasal capacity as you come upon the hot springs, but don’t let that turn you around because things are about to get fun. Once you arrive, there will be a series of different pools at various temperatures to enjoy with the hottest reaching 118 degrees Fahrenheit.

The first few pools are rather shallow at lukewarm temperatures. The deeper pools will be where you find the most visitors.

Plan on arriving early or go on week days to avoid crowds. Only one out of five of the pools is large enough for more than three people. The Boulder Creek Campground is located half a mile away so it’s a natural attraction for the camping folks.
