Wheelchair and stroller access is only available on the cooler Pools Loop. Observe the maps near the parking area, which detail the routes around the springs. Others may take the steeper route to the left, near the gazebo. Both trails converge below and continue south, along the creek. Cross the bridge at 0.1 mile and enter the boardwalk area.
Vegetation is lush here and the sound of running water quiets the soul.
Wander through the maze of boardwalks and read the interpretive signs as you look for wildlife. You may spot trout splashing in the pools, see a hummingbird, or hear the buzz of a dragonfly. Fishing is not permitted at the springs. Flowers are abundant, and you can expect to find wild rose, snowberry, showy daisy, columbine, monkshood, watercress, sagebrush and serviceberry. At the southwestern part of the boardwalk, a trail climbs several steps at 0.2 mile and heads west to the Cascades Loop and the Springs Loop.
