Radium Hot Springs is an iconic attraction located at the south entrance of Kootenay National Park. The spring water is renowned for its unique characteristic of being odorless, colorless, and rich in minerals, distinguishing it from the sulfur-scented hot springs found elsewhere in the Rockies.
Nestled beneath the spectacular red rock cliffs of Sinclair Canyon, the facility offers a large outdoor hot pool and a cool-water swimming pool, open to the public year-round. Historically a restorative site for Indigenous peoples, the springs were named for the trace amounts of radium found in the water, adding a "legendary" quality to the site (though the current level is harmless).
The development of the hot springs is closely tied to the construction of the Banff-Windermere Highway (Highway 93). Since its inclusion in the park in 1922, it has served as a significant historical Canadian facility, providing all visitors with a perfect place to relax, rejuvenate, and wash away travel fatigue amid the magnificent mountain scenery.
