These mountainside, steaming sulfur pools are a soothing tradition for locals and visitors as they soak away their skiing and hiking aches and pains. Especially inviting in winter and on cold rainy days, the pools are open year round. You can rent lockers, bathing suits and towels if you are unprepared—there are even spa services. The pools are two miles south of downtown Banff. Adult entry is CAD7.3.
