Day 27 - Hinton, Alberta


After leaving the Icefields, we traveled north to Jasper, Alberta. We wanted to head east towards Hinton because it would be closer to Miette Hot Springs, plus we wanted to do some laundry, relax, and catch up on things. Miette Hot Springs is nestled high in the mountains without any other distractions. It is the hottest springs in Canada. When I was here as a little boy, we could not go into the hotsprings because of a polio epidemic in Canada. This was very upsetting, so one of our goals for this trip was to finally take a plunge and enjoy this Canadian pleasure. After stopping to buy groceries in Jasper, we headed east across the Athabasca River and came across a herd of Big Horn Sheep, which were coming out of the mountains to water in the river. After taking a few pictures, we found the Hinton KOA campground, which was very nice. We finished all of our chores and got up early the next morning and headed to the hotsprings. As we traveled into the mountains we saw a black bear sow and her 3 cubs. We learned that a Black Bear sow will usually have either 2-3 cubs every other year. We arrived at the hotsprings and soaked for longer than we should have before heading to Jasper to spent the night. They have 4 pools - 2 hot pools with different temperatures and 2 cooler plunges at different temperatures. We learned to use the pool rotation effectively, so we stayed for almost 2 hours and never got light headed. We wanted to spend the night in Jasper and to walk the town, so we headed west to find a campground at Jasper.
