Pool Conditions and Snow

Lobster Pot (the normally hotter pool) is running cooler than normal due the the series of rain events that have been sweeping across the area.  This is fairly normal at this time of year as all that surface ground water mixes with Lobster Pot's shallow sources and dilutes them.  When we get freezing weather those surface waters will lock up and Lobster Pot will return to it's normal 'hot'

Snow Advisory & Conditions

As of today (November 18th) there is 3-4 inches of snow on the trail to the hot springs.  There are a series of active storm fronts due to move through the area in the next two weeks with predicted snow levels floating between 3,000 and 5,000 feet (check the advisories in the calendar to the right).  Because of the terrain near Scenic we always drop predicted snow levels another 500 ft so we

Season's First Snow is Here

2-4" forecast for this weekend so be prepared for cold weather.  Snowshoes are not needed just yet.  Warm, water-repellent clothing is needed.

Well, okay . . . they knew my name . . . they knew my email nickname.  Sounded plausible so I believed that they did in fact ask

Scenic Clean Up Event Oct 6th, 2012

Update:  A volunteer has made a generous offer to carpool volunteers:

I
am happy to take 3-5 people (in addition to me) in my car (3 would be
in  a sedan, 5 would be in a Suburban) to the springs on Oct 6.  I live
in Sammamish, but could meet a 8 AM that day in any convenient place
(Bellevue Park and Ride?).

If you are interested in carpooling, send an email to us and we will attempt to get
