About Banff Upper Hot Springs
An outdoor pool at 1,585 metres with mountain views, a short drive above the Banff townsite. The classic post-hike soak in the Canadian Rockies — and the historic 1930s bathhouse is part of the charm.
Evenings are least crowded. In winter, soaking in 40°C water while snow falls on the peaks around you is close to a religious experience.
