Sometimes they will have a scrubber brush for you to scrub the bottom and sides of your tub before getting in. I recommend bringing a soft Brissle brush (pack in pack out) and then giving it a rinse before filling up you pool. Water was very hot n felt amazing. Use the cold hose to balance out desired temp.

The actual facility was a little confusing for us because we had never been but there are 4 tubs you can use together and then one big private tub on the other side of the property. We arrived early enough that there was only one person there already so we were able to fill our tub and get in pretty easily. I can see where people have issues with the privacy or nudity, it was a little uncomfortable but the people who were around us were very respectful. We had a great time soaking for an hour or two and then it started to get busy so we packed up and left feeling very relaxed. It wasn't gross or anything, and nothing happened. Overall a wonderful experience in such a foggy, rainy, mystical area!

What a great little place for hiking! I would call it more of a nature walk rather than a hike, but…read morethat's what makes it great for small kids or those in wheelchairs. There are two short trails that are less than a mile each. The Streamwatch Trail takes you along the water and even has a little underwater fish viewing area. There weren't any fish in March, but it must be pretty cool to watch the fish underwater during busier seasons. The Wetlands Trail takes you along a wooden boardwalk to literally go through a wetland area. Most of these trails are stroller/wheelchair friendly, but there are some parts that are on dirt and gravel, which may be a little trickier. There are also a lot of picnic tables along the Streamwatch trail, which would be perfect in warmer weather.

We took both the Wetlands and Streamwatch trails. You've got to be verrry careful right now on the oh-so slippery boardwalks of the Wetlands. It was very icy throughout the entire trail. The Streamwatch trail winds you through picnic areas, along the river, and by the underwater viewing area. We drove around past other trails and over to the family meadow and picnic area. Plenty of parking and the restrooms that were open were clean. There were a few structures and trail aspects that needed some tending to, but overall it's a lovely recreation area...peaceful now but probably loads of fun for families in the springtime!

I was pleased, being June, that there was still plenty of snow on the mountain. Reaching 11, 250 feet I should not be surprised. Also, the temperature during my visit was very comfortable reaching the high 50's at the base of the mountain. It was perfect for meandering around and soaking in the awesome view. This mountain is definitely worth visiting if you are an enthusiast of geological formations or adventures.

This is a really special mountain to me. It's not just "The Mountain" that I brag to all my friends back East about: "Portland is only an hour form the mountain!" It's a second home. It's where I learned to not trip on my crampons and get used to cold hands and even colder toes. It's where I learned that an Acura TL can make it up the mountain in a blizzard, as long as you have the grit to chain-up in Government Camp. It's where I almost lost people. It's where I made new friends. It's where I hung out with ravens on the summit. It's where I nearly threw up from noxious sulfur fumes. It's where I witnessed rescue efforts. It's where I learned to shoot the stars. It's where I taught others climbing knots. It's where I spent a lot of time alone, at 2am, wondering why I wasn't closing down a bar in Portland. It's where I saw the alpenglow creep over the horizon at 5am and realized all the suffering was worth it.

What a beautiful hike! I'd say it's pretty family-friendly overall. There is some uphill hiking and…read moretwo short sections that are a little questionable to get up and over, but we were able to do it with a 9-month-old strapped to one parent, a 3-year-old strapped to the other, a 12-year-old, a 14-year-old, and two grandparents. We loved that most of the trail is shaded by trees, though enough sun still comes through that sunscreen is recommended. Definitely bring water. One of the coolest parts is that you can go up behind the waterfall, but be prepared to climb rocks to get there--it's not an easy walk-up-and-around situation. The hike is about 3.5-3.6 miles. There were a decent number of people there, but it never felt overwhelmingly crowded. Amenities include restrooms, picnic tables, an information kiosk, and dogs are allowed on leash. A $5 day pass, Northwest Forest Pass, or Interagency Pass is required from May 15 to October 1.

Tamanawas Falls is one of my favorite waterfalls I've seen in Oregon…read more I've hiked it twice now-- once this past summer with my cousin, and more recently, last week. The hike is about three and a half miles round trip, with about 600 feet in elevation gain. Some light scrambling is necessary to get up close to the waterfall. There is a decent sized parking area at the trail head. Parking is $5 or free with a valid recreation pass. The waterfall itself is a hundred foot tall curtain. While it's only about one third the size, the shape reminds me of Vernal Fall in Yosemite. The basalt underneath the waterfall is very pretty and interesting to examine. There were lots of yellow trees (in October) including maple and Tamarack. I've read that you can go behind this waterfall, but I did not, since I'm a chicken, and like to play it safe around water. The hike was a little harder than it sounds, but still definitely doable within a couple of hours. There are a few campgrounds nearby, including Sherwood, Pollalie, and Nottingham.

I had fun but I would love to see some change at this rink…read more I grew up very spoiled by the ice rink that was in my small town in Wyoming. It was seasonal but it was free to skate there because of local donors. There were always multiple staff who skated around the rink to make sure everyone was safe and guided people around those who had fallen or were creating unsafe situations for all the skaters. The figure skaters only practiced in the middle of the rink that had cones around it to prevent any public members from confusion and entering that space. You were asked to follow the direction of the skating and not go against the flow. There was a mandatory break halfway to clear the ice. This rink is a far cry from that. Skating is honestly a hazard here! I had to check in mid skate to see if I was still in public skate because there were so many figure skaters on the rink doing whatever they wanted. Skating wrong ways, blocking the path, zig zagging between skaters, all the things figure skaters do.I had a few almost run ins myself. I don't understand why public skate can't be a fun time to skate around and around without worrying if you're going to have a head on collision with the figure skater. I felt really frustrated because this wasn't the first time that I've come here and had this happen. Can there be a designated time for the figure skaters to practice? I get it.. share the ice but when it's a literal free for all it's hard to predict where to skate and stay safe. I'm familiar with how to stop safely but for newbies this is really unsafe. I want to take my nephews here but is there a time when it's truly a public skate?

The facility is well set up with great amenities, including large locker rooms, a nice beer garden, and a convenient snack shop.

The vibe here is definitely improving, and I'm really looking forward to the upstairs bar and restaurant that is reportedly coming soon! A cool, reliable spot for everything ice-related.

Lots of obstacles and slides. Great pricing! Best deal in town. Only downside is the bathrooms are a little hard to get to, especially if you're in the play structure, so might not be a great activity for newly potty independent kids. There are TVs. With sports on for the parents. Only one way in or out, so you can relax knowing your kid is still in there and hasn't left lol but this also means you will be trying to find your way through the maze if your kid needs help. The slides dead end into an area where the only way out is upward climbing, which is not possible for kids under 3/4 so they get trapped. Small, dedicated area for littler kids too, I'd say under 2. Plenty of parking.
