Harrison Hot Springs

On the Canada Day long weekend Geordie and I escaped rainy cold Vancouver to go to rainy cold Harrison Hot Springs. The 'Source' is below where the steam is coming out of that neat building. The pond in the foreground is a mix of lake water and spring water and had the temperature of a warm bath but you would not want to swim in it. The cold temperatures made the steam rising out of the bubbling up spring very thick.

With all the rain BC has been getting the area had some flooding problems. One was a breach in this dike. There also was not much beach left, only 1-2 metres. It was closed to pedestrians. Geordie and I drove into those lower mountains for some nice hiking in the rain though we made it back to the car just before it got really torrential.

More planet fun. On the right is the lagoon that is in the above picture. In the centre a breakwater path of sorts and to the right of that what little sandy beach remained. To the left beyond the grassy park expanse is the town of Harrison Hot Springs. The cabins in which we stayed are at the bottom. It was pretty much that slate grey overcast the whole time we were there.
