About Goldmyer Hot Springs
A protected natural hot spring deep in the Cascade foothills east of North Bend, requiring a moderate 4.5-mile hike and advance reservations through the volunteer nonprofit that manages the site. Hot water cascades from a cave into a series of hand-built soaking pools surrounded by old-growth forest, with a strict 20-person daily limit preserving its pristine character. Goldmyer is widely considered the finest hot spring in Washington state.
