Radium Hot Springs - Radium Hot Springs - Things To Do Reviews

My first trip to Radium Hot Springs was a great experience. I drove up from Banff for the day – only and hour and a half away. My first thought was; these hot springs really are huge! There is so much space! I was amazed. With only a few other people in the pool and the steam rising up, it felt like I had the pool to myself. I was also lucky enough to have gone in February when it was around –30 C. Because of the cold air mixing with the steam off the pool, everything from the rock surfaces and the trees to the outdoor lifeguard chair around the pool was covered in a thick layer of sparkling frost. With the sun shining, it was absolutely stunning. I think my favourite part was the “surprise plunge pool” that is just next to the main pool. It’s quite a bit hotter than the rest of the pool and you can only go in for about 5 minutes at a time, but it was a great 5 minutes. Overall, it was a great experience.
