Washington has some seriously stunning state parks, a few of which manage to stay under the radar. Fields Spring State Park definitely qualifies as one of our hidden gems — it’s located near Anatone in the southeast corner of the state. And while you won’t find a ton of recreation options here, you will catch views of three states from the top of Puffer Butte, which is pretty amazing.

This quiet, secluded stretch of land really is located in the southeasternmost tip of the state.
In the summer, you'll find people hiking, picnicking, and camping here, but winters are all about cross country skiing.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, a rope tow for alpine skiing was operated by a private ski club here. But these days, it's all public land.
Puffer Butte is definitely the highlight of the park.

Climb to the top and take in the views -- it's well worth it.
