I've been to the one in Banff, it's pretty nice after a day of skiing or hiking.

Completely undeveloped hotspring pools are a magnet for dirty hippies.

I love stopping at the hot springs after skiing. As long as you don't mind the smell you will really enjoy them.

people should just say developed or undeveloped because they're all natural hot springs.

I've been to some in alaska but I was too young to go to the actual thing so I had to hang out inside in the pool where they just put some of the water. so it wasn't really hot and it wasn't really a spring.

Yeah same here, absolutely beautiful.

Also there's some in Hotspring Cove (go figure) that a ton of kayakers go to like this guy at 8:00:


I'm going to try and go to this in the not so distant future.

Anyone from Washington ever been to Solduc Hotsprings? Used to go there with my family at the first weekend of summer break every year.

They're developed but super nice. A couple summers ago we made a hotsprings trip and visited every one in lower B.C. super fun.

I have been to three different ones, one was developed. Because this is Oregon, expect many naked hippies in their sixties asking you if you want to join them in the sweat lodge. There also may be some native Americans trippin on peyote.

Yes! I love natural hot springs! The two I'm really familiar with are St. Leon's and Halfway Hotsprings they're in BC and they are awesome. You meet some pretty interesting people at them.

Idaho has the most soak able hot springs in the United States. Nevada has more sources but they are to hot for recreation. Back country Hot springs adventures are one of my favorite!
