The Olympic Hot Springs are another option for anyone exploring Olympic National Park. These hot springs add a bit more wilderness experience when compared to the nearby Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort’s comfortable setting. Visitors can make the 2.5-mile hike to access the natural Olympic Hot Springs, which has no man-made structures. The hike begins at the Boulder Creek Trailhead in the Elwha Valley and the trail is wide with a very limited gain in elevation. The lack of amenities often found at hot spring resorts is part of what makes the springs appealing to so many people.
