A Dip In A Soothing Mineral Hot Spa was An Added 'Plus' At Canyon Hot Springs.



The most perfect end to a long day of driving is a swim in a natural mineral hot spring surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Travelling through the Rocky Mountains, visitors will find numerous parks, natural hot springs, challenging golf courses, and an intriguing history that appeals to everyone.



However when we discovered that Canyon Hot Springs at Revelstoke just off highway #1 also had a campground, we thought we hit the jackpot. The spacious campsites at this extremely scenic hot springs complex was the icing on the cake. Within minutes after checkin, we allowed the warm natural spring water in the 60,000 gallon swimming pool and the 15,000 gallon hot pool to erase all stiffness of our long day. For centuries, First Nation's people used the springs specifically for their healing powers




The hot water is piped 2-miles from the original timber enclosure at the historic CPR townsite (now a ghost town) - established at the turn of the century. The railway employees dug and blasted, a pit at the hot springs and then lined it with heavy timbers. That open air "hot tub" was used by visitors and residents alike for numerous years,

A challenging18-hole Riverside Golf Course, (park office may have discount coupons), many hiking trails accessible for all fitness levels from handicap to rock climbing plus several museums are just a few of the numerous activities that keep everyone busy in these spectacular surroundings.
