Kootenay and Yoho

The morning began with a nice dip in the Lussier Hot Springs inside Whiteswan Lake P.P. It was freezing this morning – only 8 degrees – so Dave was the only one brave enough to put on his bathing suit and sit in it, I only went in up to my knees. What was cool about Lussier is it’s a natural hot spring in the wilderness as opposed to the developed pools at resorts.To get to this one, you have to walk a bit of a distance down a steep path to a fast moving river where there are three small pools built up by rocks. It was pretty jam packed at 8 a.m.

We made a quick stop in Invermere to buy a new huge home-away-from-home. Dave can actually stand up in this one.Left Turn Clyde and his gf seem to like it.

We drove through Kootenay National Park and made our way to Yoho National Park. We didn’t go this way last year so we saw a whole new bunch of mountains. We arrived on the Friday of the long weekend, so sites are scarce. We managed to get one that was basically in a parking lot with a picnic table off the highway. But who cares, we’re surrounded by beautiful mountains.
