Unbelievable! That is all I am going to say. We left early enought to drive to North Bend, WA, and onto the "potholes forever" logging road to Ding's Creek Trailhead. From there, we strolled along a river bank upstream, and slowly we saw thicker forest, and thick snow patches here and there.

Not Long, we passed and hiked into the private property boundary of Goldmyer Hotsprings. Crossed the river, and continued our thrist for the hotspring. It was quite a place that they discovered this hotspring. By a fast running river bank, here lies the hotspring. Well built and maintained by the caretakers, it has 3 levels, where different temperature was observed.

For the 3.5 horus we were there, not a single moment that I did not enjoy. It was superb !!
