A must-stop for all travelers. This hot springs provided just about the only creature comfort the road workers had. Now, it provides a welcome rest break for weary travellers. There is a very nice 53 site campground, with large secluded sites, and easy access to the hot springs along a boardwalk.
The springs are beautiful, with newly constructed changing rooms, clear hot water, and benches to sit on while you soak. I made a beeline for the springs as soon as I was parked, and while the water was great, so was the conversation with travellers from all over the US and Canada. The water is really hot up by the source, and slowly cools off the further downstream you go. If you ever get up this way, this is one stop you don’t want to miss!
After a good soak, it’s time for the afternoon gathering. The weather has been absolutely stellar! Clear blue skies, temps in the mid 70s, and only a few mosquitos. Doesn’t get much better than this!
Four additional travellers caught up with us: Dan and Carolee, Charles and Chris. They received their official Loosey-Goosey badges and will be with us as we travel up the highway. Welcome, guys!
Most of the gang wandered out to the hot springs for an evening soak. What a nice way to end the day, and best of all, we’ll be here another day, so I can do it all again tomorrow.
nice badges.
