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 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.

Rivers Edge A River Front cabin with Majestic Mountain View’s

10/10 Excellent

"River's Edge was the perfect weekend getaway. Quiet, private and set on the river. Gorgeous views and only 23 miles from Paradise. The town of Ashford had everything we needed from bundles of wood to hot cooked meals with friendly service. The hot tub and fire pit were our favorite part of our escape from reality. "
