Last week Heather and I ventured over to Olympic National Park to the
Sol Duc Hot Springs. It was my first time in a natural hot spring -
ahhhhhhhh. Nice and relaxing. Since the summer tourist crazy season is
over, it was nice and quiet there. Just what the doctor ordered. The
Olympic Mountains are actually not volcanic at all so I was quite
puzzled how these hot springs were formed. Turns out that this has
been a question that has baffled scientists for years. The best
conclusion is that it is just natural geothermic activity...?
There is enough heat to take the pools to over 100 degrees. The
source of the heat is 300 ft underground. To get here you have to drive
around 20minutes through the beautiful woods and it's nestled against
the mountain backdrop. This is a trip that deserves a repeat once it
opens in the spring!
