Lussier Hot Springs

Before we left, Dad had mentioned there were natural hot springs around Fort Steele (originally where we were supposed to stay on the night we stopped in Grand Forks). We decided this was worth the trip an hour off route. And it sure was.
Getting to the hot springs requires an 18km drive on an active logging road. The last 3-4km, we drove alongside the edge of a mountain, with no barricade, and a frightfully steep drop off the side. I sure was glad to get to our destination because that was enough time on a road built like that.
The actual hotsprings were amazing. These are 100% natural and 100% free. A lot of people were there, and you could smell the sulfur as you walked down to the hot springs, but it was amazing to experience. We soaked for an hour or 2, jumping between the different pools and the different temperatures. Unfortunately, we did have to leave since we had 3 more hours of driving and still hadn't eaten supper. The drive down was beautiful. The sun was setting, and the golden glow on the mountains was an amazing view.
We stopped at a rest stop to cook some burgers, the sun set quickly and we went on our way to Lundbreck Falls for the night. Czytaj więcej
