Bagby Hot Springs is about an hour out of Estacada where you can soak in the hot springs for free. You have to buy a parking pass from the ranger station, and then you hike in about a mile and a half. It is a beautiful hike. I think it must get really crowded in the summer or on the weekends. This being a weekend, Joe and I got up really early in the morning to make the two-hour drive there. I was reading the flyer the Forest Service gave us; it said that on busy days, there may be a 30-minute wait to actually get into a hot springs tub, and to pass the time, visitors can hike to another spring and play in the cold water. Ha! As summer was over, it wasn't so busy. We were able to get one of the five private rooms that has a hollowed out log for a tub, which was really nice. While you may get what you pay for, this hot spring is worth it.
