There’s nothing like a hot spring soak in the coldest, darkest days of the year.

Oregon, famously gray and/or chilly for a significant portion of the year, is thankfully home to a wealth of places to go soaking, spread out across scenic landscapes throughout the state.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we explore some of Oregon’s best and most beautiful places to soak, from the wellness spas in Portland to the rustic pools found way out in the high desert. Wherever you are in Oregon, there’s bound to be hot water nearby.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

• What’s the best place to soak in Portland?
• Oregon’s forested hot springs have mixed reviews.
• Why the high desert might be the best place to soak in Oregon.
