Canyon Hot Springs

## Overview Canyon Hot Springs is a seasonal hot springs resort nestled in the historic Albert Canyon area of British Columbia, Canada, along the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) between Revelstoke and Golden. The resort operates from approximately May through September each year and offers visitors the chance to soak in naturally heated mineral waters in a stunning mountain setting. The facility features both a hot pool and a larger warm swimming pool, fed by natural hot spring water sourced from the surrounding mountains. Canyon Hot Springs has been a popular roadside stop for decades, drawing travelers making the scenic drive through the Columbia Mountains and near Glacier National Park of Canada. The resort sits in what was once the small community of Albert Canyon — a settlement that has largely faded from the map but lives on through this beloved hot springs destination. Accommodations on-site include chalets, cabins, an RV park, and a campground, making it a convenient base for exploring the surrounding wilderness. Bookings can be made online through the resort's official website. **Note:** The GPS coordinates listed at the top of this page may be approximate.

Visitors will find maintained pools filled with naturally heated spring water, changing facilities, and on-site accommodations ranging from rustic cabins to full-service RV hookups and tent camping spots. The surrounding scenery is classic interior British Columbia — towering evergreens, rugged mountain peaks, and the lush valleys of the Columbia Mountains. The area near Glacier National Park offers excellent hiking, wildlife viewing, and sightseeing opportunities for those looking to extend their stay. Because this is a paid facility with set operating hours and seasonal availability (typically May through September), it's a good idea to check the resort's official website before visiting for current rates, hours, and reservation availability — especially during peak summer weekends when the campground and cabins can fill up quickly. The hot springs pools are the main attraction, with water temperatures that visitors have described as comfortably hot in the soaking pool and pleasantly warm in the larger swimming pool. The natural mineral content of the spring water has historically been one of the draws of the area, though specific water composition data is not widely published.
