Hot Springs of Western Canada: A Complete Guide [Paperback]

Glenn Woodsworth (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1999

A new guide to Canada's hot springs, all of which are in western Canada, and some hot springs in Washington and Alaska. This book includes hot springs resorts and natural and handmade hot springs pools that can be reached by car or require a walk, hike, or boat trip to reach. Some of the hot springs in the wilderness are especially appealing because they have excellent pools and are seldom visited. The book also provides information on how hot springs work and on the springs' water temperatures, water characteristics, and histories. With the aid of detailed area maps, hot spring enthusiasts will know just where to go to ease their bodies and souls. 40 maps and 25 colour and 50 black and white photographs.

This review is from: Hot Springs of Western Canada (Paperback)

A primary use guide for my research in the Kootaneys of British Columbia. Well written and most directions were precise. It was somewhat out of date, but hot springs change so frequently that the book was not at fault. Still, it gave good reviews and excellent photos. All the maps were well done and easy to read and interpret. A great guide book and the best I've seen for Canada.
