Banff Upper Hot Springs
A trip to the Banff Upper Hot Springs gives you the chance to take a dip in natural mineral waters. The water in the Banff Upper Hot Springs is always somewhere between 37 and 40 degrees, and that is pretty warm ;). The Banff springs are nestled amid beautiful scenery, making them ideal for a relaxing getaway. From the HOT outdoor pool you can enjoy a beautiful view of Mount Rundle.
You get a first glimpse of the pool if you look to your right on the walkway leading to the entrance.
The air outside was cool when we visited the hot springs on May 5th, but the water was so nice and warm we had a hard time getting out of it.
The changing facilities are simple but adequate. Bring change for the lockers.
The springs are pretty popular and very crowded on weekends and in the summer, so plan your visit with this in mind.
After a relaxing soak in the pool, you may be in the mood for a bite in the restaurant or a browse in the gift shop.
I really enjoyed the Banff Upper Hot Springs. It is a great place for a quick getaway. I plan to go back in the wintertime, when it will be crisp and chilly outside but warm and cozy in the water.
