There is an abundance of hot springs in the Canadian Rockies. In fact Canada's first National Park, the Cave and Basin Historic Site in Banff, is a geothermal feature. After passing hot springs in Banff and Jasper, we decided a good way to wind down our trip would be to jump into Radium Hot Springs... and come out radioactive.
 |
| But when we arrived in Radium, it was HOT. So we went down the road to Invermere and jumped in Windermere Lake. |
 |
| Radium is also known for the co-habitating Big Horn Sheep. These guys aren't very scared of you and can climb anything! I was about 3 ft away from this guy when I took this pic... |

| Behind the hostel we stayed at... |
 |
| Getting water at the mini-golf course... |
 |
| Kai liked them... and the raspberries |
 |
| The next day it cooled off with an afternoon thundershower and we got to go to the hot springs twice! Once before nap and after... |
 |
| The owners of the Misty Mountain Lodge where we stayed had met while bike touring around the world... they were on their bikes when they found this place for sale and purchased it several years ago. She has since biked across Canada solo on this yellow bike. The place is up for sale again so they can resume their life on the road... |
 |
| The bighorn sheep scaled right up the sheer dirt cliff behind the house... |
 |
| Our first rain of the trip. And boy did it pour! |
