Fractured bedrock channels geothermal water to the surface, creating the warm springs that feed the public bathhouse. Rocky cliffs line the shore, exposed to storm waves and tide. The coastline supports tide pools, kelp beds, and old-growth forest. Brown bears move through the area, and eagles hunt along the water. Marine fog rolls in frequently, softening views of forested ridges and open ocean.
