Take It Outside

Crest of the Falls Massage

Needles, bull semen, bird poop. When it comes to beauty treatments, you’ve never been afraid to go to extremes. After last week’s butt facial, you really have tried it all.

Suffice it to say, you’ve hit the proverbial ass ceiling.

Time to raise the roof. Or abolish it altogether, with Salish Lodge’s Crest of the Falls massage. New this summer, the treatment pushes regular massages to the edge: They take place in an open-air cabana at the tip-top of Snoqualmie Falls.

Slip into a soft terry robe and pad over for a soak in the spa’s very Zen pools. Then head outside for a 90-minute Swedish or heated river rock massage, accompanied by warm breezes and the whoosh of water 300 feet below.

It’s just the thing for a romantic treat (the cabana has two heated beds) or a solo pick-me-up. And nothing makes you look prettier than fresh air and a little relaxation.

So you can finally cut the crap.
