For a soothing dip in mineral-infused natural hot springs, make the 60-kilometre trek to Miette Hot Springs, which boasts the distinct honour of being the hottest hot springs in the Canadian Rockies.

The hot springs hit a piping-hot 54 degrees Celsius right from the mountain, but the water is cooled to a more reasonable – but still toasty – 40 degrees Celsius in the pools where bathers come to swim.

There are a few different pool options to choose from, including a couple of super-cold pools if you’re after a hot-and-cold experience.
