Baker Hot Springs [Easy 8 Miles]
Details
Baker Hot Springs is a primitive Hot Spring in an isolated section of wilderness in the North Cascades. In the winter months there are typically very few people there, and unlike Goldmeyer Hot Springs, it is free to visit and there are no reservations required. The Hot Springs are at a relatively low elevation so there shouldn't be too much snow there. We will meet at the Green Lake Park and Ride at 7:30 am and carpool to the trailhead by the Park Creek campground. 48.73312500437753, -121.66325214653098. We will then hike 4 miles to the hot springs, then take some time to soak in the hot springs and have lunch.
