Miette Hot Springs
The hottest natural hot springs in the Canadian Rockies, with a spring temperature of about 54°C, surrounded by mountains.
Miette Hot Springs is located about 60 km northeast of Jasper town, along Highway 16 and then a 17 km mountain road. The spring water is about 54°C at the source. After cooling, it is channeled into two hot pools (about 40°C) and two cold pools. Forested slopes surround the pools, and bighorn sheep are often seen. Admission is about C$17, and the springs typically open from May to October. A short trail leads to the spring source and the ruins of the old bathhouse. The mountain road has many bends, so watch for wildlife in the evening.
Opening hours
