Banff Upper Hot Springs

Banff Upper Hot Springs Review

The sulfur pool of hot springwater can be soothing, invigorating, or both. The hot springs are a popular activity and are child-friendly during the day—think family swimming pool rather than couples' hot tub vibe. The water is especially inviting on a dull, cold day or when it's snowing, and views of the mountains are spectacular. Lockers, bathing suits (circa 1920s or modern), and towels can be rented, and spa services are available. Save the C$1.90 per towel and bring one from your hotel room, but remember to return it. Even though the recommended limit is 20 minutes in the water, you'll likely want to stay an hour or two. The springs can be reached via a short uphill walk from the parking lot.
