Ahhh...Nothing Like a Soak in the Hot Springs ...

Filed under: / by mtn_admin

after a big day outside hiking.  I experienced last Saturday what our guests enjoy every Monday night, a soak in the famous Ainsworth Hot Springs (only 5 minutes from the lodge). Not that I hadn't been there before, just not recently. I had kayaked for a few days with my fellow guide Helene. Since the Hot Springs were on the drive home, we decided to treat ourselves with a well deserved soak. Wow. It was fantastic! Sitting in the hot pool, going through the caves, then having a few cold plunges, my body felt completely re-vitalized.  No wonder some of our guests ask to be dropped off at the Hot Springs on the way back from hiking. Healing benefits aside (it detoxes the body by increasing blood flow which also increases the flow of oxygen rich blood to tired muscles, and other reputed healing benefits), it just felt awesome!  Of course, with the Purcell Mountains and Kootenay Lake as the backdrop, how much better can it get? You can be sure that they'll be seeing me there a little more often.
