Miette Hot Springs



Located at the entrance to Jasper National Park Miette Hot springs is the hottest in all of the national parks.  The water comes out of the mountain at a scorching hot temperature of 53 Degrees Celsius.  The pools are cooled to 40 for your comfort, and just for some more fun they have a pool that is kept at 5-9 degrees Celsius.  The photo above is the old pool building that was abandoned in 1984.  The new building while it is nice does not have the character of the old one.  If you are at Miette be sure to walk the 1KM paved trail to the abandoned pool and see where the water comes out of the mountain!
