Clearwater National Forest

Warm, partially natural hot springs with amazing views. About a 10-15 minute hike in. Super easy! Worth the drive down a windy highway! This photo though is not the first hot spring you see. You have to climb down the mountain further and hike longer to get to this one! 110% worth it.

Beautiful drive up old highway 12

I have had a few travelers ask me at work if this drive is worth it!

It’s very very beautiful, but extremely windy, dangerous, and full of wildlife. Including deer that jump right in front of your car!

Amazing views... dangerous drive!
