About Sulphur Hot Springs
Sulphur Hot Springs offers a tranquil soak in warm, 90°F waters nestled deep within Washington’s lush forests. This primitive spring invites you to connect with nature away from crowds, where the gentle murmurs of the forest complement the calming heat of the mineral-rich pool.
Getting There
Reach Sulphur Hot Springs by parking at a small, limited lot near Darrington, then embark on a scenic 2 to 3-mile hike. The trail—moderate in difficulty—winds through towering trees and mossy terrain, leading you to the inviting steam rising from the spring’s natural basin.
What to Expect
Expect rustic charm rather than developed facilities; the pool is small and unrefined, surrounded by rocks and forest floor. The warm, soothing water creates a peaceful atmosphere, and given its remote location, you’ll likely share the experience with few others, soaking in quiet solitude.
Tips for Visitors
Arrive prepared with water, snacks, and sturdy footwear since there are no services or amenities nearby. The trail can be muddy, especially after rain, so pack accordingly. There is no entry fee, and visiting year-round means you may enjoy changing seasonal scenery alongside Washington’s swimming holes.
