Hot spring adventures

Ever since June of 2015, hot springs have been somewhat of a let down. It was on our drive up the AlCan Highway that we stopped in at the Liard Hot Springs and soaked in easily the best hot spring there ever was. Ever since that day we have been unable to enjoy commercial, private, or natural hot springs as none come close to the experience of Liard. This is a major issue with us, knowing that we have been to the best already, so why bother going to a mediocre place… it is a conundrum I tell you.

Ah, but Strawberry Park Hot Springs gave us a glimmer of hope. Hope that there are hot springs still worthy of an experience. We both agree that it is not better than Liard, but it surely ranks in the top-3 at this point – I could not tell you which place may also be in the top-3, I’m just leaving room for error. Even though there was a bit of a crowd there, late in the evening just before sunset, the large open space of the pools provided enough area for that crowd to disperse. Even with ample kids wandering about, the noise never escalated to screaming or large bursts of laughter. All in all, it was a calm, quiet evening in a warm pool of water as the sun set and the stars blinked into existence.
