The remains of Soda Springs, one of 49 mineral spring that attracted visitors to this area in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The springs were developed by the Longmire family, who first settled the area in 1883 after building a wagon trail from Ashford, 13 miles (21 km) away. In addition to improving the springs, the Longmires constructed a series of cabins, tents, a 5-room hotel, and hiking trails to Paradise.

By 1915 the Longmires and the National Park were no longer seeing eye-to-eye, and the Longmires leased the property to a hotelier, who improved and continued to operate the springs until the National Park Service purchased the property in 1939. You can read a bit more about the area's history here: http://bit.ly/1vkU4C4

You can visit the remains of a few mineral springs and an 1888 cabin by hiking the short and flat Trail of Shadows loop (0.7 mi/1.1 km). It's an easy walk, and there's a nice view of Mount Rainier from the meadows.

"We booked a premium cottage and it was the perfect getaway, steps from the Nisqually Entrance into Mount Rainier National Park. The cabin was spacious, had a mini fridge, and was clean. The beds were comfortable and the staff were kind. It was the perfect spot to relax before/after exploring Mount Rainier. "

"Historic 112 yr old renovated/remodeled building. Quaint room was clean and comfortable. Thankful for added portable room air conditioner although is was a bit loud. Building could use an ice machine with ice buckets in the rooms. Outside there was an amazing fish pond with picnic seating area. Hotel parlor had snacks and awesome dvd collection you could borrow from and dvd players in the rooms. Great place!"
