The natural springs are now accessible through a by-pass trail that goes around the road wash out. It’s mostly paved road going up to them with a few creeks crossing on the trail parts. The view you get on this trail is unbeatable! Going along the river and through the lower foothills, you get the amazing feeling of having the country all to yourself. See the beautiful Glines Canyon, home to the largest dam removal in modern history!
The pools are very enjoyable to soak in and feel amazing after the beautiful ride. With Pedego’s powerful motors, you can cruise up hills with ease and save your energy for the destination at the springs. 9:00am is the latest check-in timeslot for this trail!

Hot Spring Route Disclaimer:
The by-pass trail that goes around the washed out section of the hot springs road is rather tricky with a bit of maneuvering the bikes as you walk them along the rocky single lane trail. We do not hide the fact that this trail isn’t easy to navigate. This section is roughly under a 1/4 miles of the trip.
We’ve had people of all kinds complete this adventure and because it isn’t the easiest day adventure, everyone has said it makes it once in a lifetime special! So be a little prepared for some exertion and a wonderful feeling of accomplishment at the end of your adventure to the Olympic Natural Hot springs!
