How to Find 3 Natural Hot Springs in BC Canada (in one road trip)

[@tamralistan]

I wanted to thank you for this video. We were staying in Fairmont Hot Springs and because of this video we were able to go to Lussier Hot Springs on the Tuesday after Labor (Labour? 😉} Day and it was fantastic! We would have loved to get to the final spring but did not have the vehicle for it. Great video and thank you again!!

[@viajandoforadarota]

We loved your video of the Hot Springs. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@regwack2594]

It's funny we were talking about this place the other day and it showed up on my phone sure brings back memories I grew up just south of Fairmont

[@twitchylegs1781]

Underrated video. Gotta love earth’s natural hot tubs

[@alysmalls]

Thanks!

[@lmf1253]

Thank you so much for your amazing videos! We are planning a trip for September 2024 (from Melbourne, Australia) and tossing up between car rental or RV rental for a week from Vancouver through the mountains. Your information has been invaluable….keep ‘em coming 😂xx

Aly, you are a great human being 😊, thank you for sharing

[@kennyrichey3238]

Great video Aly. Definitely a stop next time I'm around that area!

[@alysmalls]

Thanks, Kenny! Highly recommend

[@kimsooyong9456]

Thanks for the beautiful video with a lot of information. Is there a changing facility at the Natural Fairmount Hot Springs? If not, then we may have to purchase a towel poncho for changing in public.

[@nepatriots77]

Aly, your voice is so ASMR.

[@alysmalls]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed :)

[@West__Coast__Joyride]

thank you for shared nice videos, i love blue cute cabin ,, i want go,

[@joesutherland225]

Well there goes that

[@campingboy9213]

In the summer, bathtub warm is perfect.

Hello, my name is Chao Wa Isan Khon from Thailand. Come to visit the beautiful atmosphere. I'm rooting for you.

[@EKAdventures51]

And thanks to the publicity Lussier hot springs one has to wait in line to get in the small pool

[@ashleyc1380]

Super excited to check these out,thanks for sharing! :)

[@nancyandpitt]

Thank you for this video ! Are these accessible in the winter ?

[@alysmalls]

Lussier is, but be careful as the slope down to the springs is usually covered in ice. Ram is also accessible, but harder and you need a high clearance vehicle. Fairmont, it sounds like they have moved the overflow after I made this video so I'm not sure anymore

[@nancyandpitt]

@@alysmalls thank you ☺️

[@dennispine2603]

I was curious as to why the owners haven't repaired that old bath house.

[@jimgreen5788]

Aly Smalis, you have a nice video here. Good job! Thanks. Over the past few years, I've been doing a silly little project of accumulating places in the US and Canada with questionable pronunciations for outsiders. I just found 3 in BC that you may be able to help me with--Choquette Hot Springs, and up near Kitimat--Gitnadoiks River, and Fochgilttoyees Provincial Parks. Are you familiar with any of them? Thanks. P.S. Unlike Mark below, I'm in Illinois.

[@alysmalls]

Hmm, I'm not familiar with any of those. Sounds like a fun project though!

Show-KETT is French, the others are Indigenous Words.

[@kaityl1331]

Aly!!! She's literally my model for what I wanna grow up to be like😂 love, catalina

[@alysmalls]

Awe thanks for watching, Cat!

Oct 22 Update The Fairmont natural hot springs no longer exist. The water has been redirected 100' downstream through a culvert. The old pools are now cold. 'Lussier' remains fabulous Ram Creek is easier to access via Premier park road. Paved for 9 km them rough gravel for 8.9 kilometres. Then 1.4 kilometres bike.

[@alysmalls]

Thanks for the update

[@FullThrottleBHP]

Interesting to see how such a change would be allowed. Very disappointed traveled over 6 hours to go and find as you described. We were there on the 21st of October. Odd to see how they would be allowed to divert a natural water flow.

[@AnthonyYouTubes]

It was actually run off for the resort pool which so it’s second hand hot spring water.

[@gmusashi_45]

Just an update for everyone. Fairmont natural hotspring is now blocked off from the general public. Not sure if its permanent.

[@RiyaRoy-kt4gy]

Wish i had read this comment before. Just went there and got disappointed to see it closed.

[@markcummings3146]

This is so beautiful, just a shame it's so out of the way for many non-Canadians otherwise I'd love to visit (I'm based in the UK for context).

[@alysmalls]

If you ever happen to make a road trip from Banff to Vancouver, you could visit these!

[@canadaauroraborealis3958]

That is part of the appeal, it is one of the most remote and unknown regions of the Western World, if it was in Europe, it would be as crowded with people as the Alps, with very few wide open spaces and little wildlife, however you have places like Norway, Sweden and Finland which are close to you and not over-crowded. Your statement works in reverse too, a trip to the history, culture and architecture of Europe has been a dream for many in Canada and the USA since jet travel began in the 1960's. In recent years, with the internet showing what is here, this is the first time Western Canada has started to become a major World destination, most of us who live here just hope we can maintain its relaxed, safe, small-town culture and generally pristine natural environment.

[@ellonysman]

By boat or helicopter theres a lil hot spring in pitt meadows😅

[@1232bluejays]

Changing clothes outside so Canadian

[@myrahatton6812]

I love Liard hotsprings..

[@HennyWho_7]

Yeah rebuild them to look like natural hot springs….or make both keeping the pool plus a rocky British Columbia’s hot spring carved out of a cliff with a bar and first class dining

[@heybamanba1]

Great. Now that everyone and their dog knows about these places, the health authorities will cement these hot springs too. But you got your views.

[@Rahimer3689]

I've had to pick up garbage and dog shit at these very places. I've stopped going because of the disrespect and the entitlement of the tourists at these places. I am glad I have access to hot springs on private land to enjoy hot springs.

[@alysmalls]

I love that for you

[@marianfrances4959]

Im sorry to say, since the you tube videos came around, Lussier has become crowded, strewn with garbage, candle holders, and people let their dogs in and around the pools!

[@bearlycamping]

Exactly. All these "influencers" just make things worse. I first came across Lussier in 2009. Was pristine and secluded. Not anymore..

[@Sveinn1984]

Pisses me off. 5 Years ago even, barely anyone knew about it. Tourists ruin these gems with their trash and overcrowding.

[@aleashaniaprofit2466]

Fairmont's natural hotspring have been destroyed 😢

[@noexcuses5524]

Why?

[@stevenwolansky8909]

Ok,. This is bear country. You better have bear bangers, bear spray or something that goes pop …
