Entry No. 55 — the Spokane file — filed under: soak

Quinn's Hot Springs (Montana day trip)

The nearest genuine soak-under-the-stars getaway from Spokane is a string of riverside mineral pools in Montana's Clark Fork canyon, about a two-hour drive east. The pools are all-natural and range from a 55-degree cold plunge to 106-degree hot soaks, terraced beside the river under dark mountain skies. Overnight lodging guests get the pools to themselves into the late evening (adults-only until 11pm), which makes staying the night the way to do it.

The move: Book a cabin, soak in the hottest riverside pool after 10pm, and watch for shooting stars over the canyon rim.
