The hot springs is about an hour by boat north of Tofino, with great wildlife viewing on the way. You pull into the dock and have to hike about 10-15 minutes along a boardwalk to get to the spring, but it is right on the edge of the ocean (https://www.google.ca/maps/place/49%C2%B020'59.5%22N+126%C2%B015'36.0%22W/@49.349854,-126.260002,254m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0) The springs flows down a little creek, over several small waterfalls, forming a number of pools, and then drains into the ocean. There is a small change room/outhouse, but other than that the site is not developed at all. Bring good footwear as you're clambering over rocks to get to the pools. I've been to All of the hot springs mentioned above including Lussier and Liard River, and every paid admission pool in the Canadian Rockies and the Kootneys, but this one is by far my favourite.CLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366827763691666066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24116487878219171.post-20776811537871049312014-07-25T19:13:27.221-06:002014-07-25T19:13:27.221-06:00Okay, for everyone wanting an update on the spring...Okay, for everyone wanting an update on the springs, here it is: <br />http://downthewrabbithole.blogspot.ca/2014/07/update-fairmont-natural-hot-springs-2014.html<br />Enjoy (or not)!Wrabbit007https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877871484688849785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24116487878219171.post-88028483540899025392014-07-23T21:11:16.839-06:002014-07-23T21:11:16.839-06:00Thanks for the info!!!Thanks for the info!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24116487878219171.post-24088585923461381602014-07-17T07:40:59.904-06:002014-07-17T07:40:59.904-06:00It is between the RV campground and the commercial...It is between the RV campground and the commercial springs.

You can find both online, one is just outside of Skookumchuck, about 1 hour south of Fairmount. And the other just outside of Kimberly. If you are looking to experience the most lovely natural Hot Springs EVER, Liard Hot Springs in northern BC. On its own, well worth the trip. It is by far the most gorgeous hot springs I have ever been too. But be warned, it will make all other Hot Springs fail in comparison.

The waterfall is actually run-off from the hotspring pool. It is rumored that the waterfall and soaking pools are naturally occuring but now (we climbed up to the waterfall to confirm this) is actually fed by a pipe coming from the pool just above it. They used to drain the pool every night (I think they still do) and when they do the waterfall is much larger and more impressive, but you also get lots of crud in the water from the pool. Fairmont has always discouraged people from swimming in the waterfall, they usually claim for environmental reasons, but I have often wondered how much of it is trying to keep up the money in the main pool especially seeing as they only actually roped the trail off after they (significantly) raised the prices to the pool. If you dont want to seem all bad and sketchy by climbing under the ropes, there is a trail off the mountainside golf course that leads up to the waterfall after a 10 min walk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
