Ohanapecosh Hot Springs lies near Mount Rainier in Washington State, within an old-growth forest. This sulfurous spring flows at around 38°C, feeding indoor and outdoor baths, a sauna, and a massage service.
Insider tip — Ohanapecosh in the southeast corner of Mount Rainier National Park is a landscape of ancient old-growth forest, one of the Northwest's clearest mountain streams, and the historic hot springs used by the Taidnapam people long before the national park was established in 1899. The springs sit within the Grove of the Patriarchs, where 1,000-year-old Douglas firs and western red cedars frame one of the most ancient accessible forest groves in the contiguous United States.
