Banff Upper Hotsprings


Banff Upper Hot Springs, 28 Dec, 2010.

Admission fee - $7.00

Swimsuit and towel rental cost extra, but we brought our own ; )
T’s time to squeeze myself into the swimsuit again. A dread, but the hot spring calls for it.

I couldn’t help but to feel extra body cautious this time round. I’m pretty sure that it is because of the 2.8 lbs that I’ve gained over the Christmas weekend with a thousand gratitude to Monica’s irresistible cooking and the constant holiday feasting.~The honey & spice coated-roasted pecans are so good!~ Else wise, the hot spring experience was a darn pamper!

The spring wasn't as impressive as the Hokaido ones featured in travel magazines that are frequented by the mountain monkeys. However, imagine your body steeped in a pool filled with 39 degrees Celsius warm, mineral rich water in the midst of the Northern cold while the clouds roll and the snowflakes melt, literally, inches above you. The steam from the spring killed the snowflakes. Furthermore, you have the the picturesque view of the Rockies across the street to indulge in all day long. I can't complain. Finally, top it off with Timmy’s hot chocolate and an old classic donut after the near 3 hours dip.

~So Revitalizing~.
