Radium Hot Springs

I am very glad I discovered Radium Hot Springs 3 years ago.  The path down to Sinclair Falls was closed today, but it was still a great trip.  We've never seen a bighorn sheep so close!  We also saw white tailed deer and mule deer in Kootenay National Park today (route map).

We also saw this interesting display (just one of 14 stations) which were so appropriate for our Easter Break!  The Stations of the Cross depict the Passion of Christ.  This is just behind the Kootenay National Park visitor centre.  We didn't notice it the previous two years when we visited Radium Hot Springs.

We didn't drive down to Invermere this year, but we viewed the Columbia River Wetlands from the top of the campsite beside the visitor centre.

On the way back to Banff we stopped by a footbridge over the Simpson River.

The regular hot pool was closed for maintenance (started today until May 3rd).  We got to use the other pool with the water set at 38°C.
