Laird Hot Springs, British Columbia

This morning after the rain stopped we refueled and started a long 93 mile trip to Laird Hot Springs.

There is a boardwalk across the marsh lands that support more than 250 boreal forest plants, including 14 Orchid species and 14 plants that survive at this altitude due to the hot spring water.

There are two hot springs pools with temperature from 106 to 126 degrees. Since the weather was still a little rainy we decided not to go into the pools. Maybe we can go on our way back home, the water was nice and clear and it really looked inviting.

Maybe these pictures will give you some idea of what they looked like.

It has been brought to my attention that I did not include pictures of the hot springs. It seems that the WiFi I was using stopped before all the pictures were loaded. I'm very sorry about that and hopefully now all of the pictures will be there.

  2. Oh, Bob and Jerry, these are lovely pictures.
    I need a map so that I can follow you, and see where you are, or maybe you could put one off to the side?
    Happy Trails, Thanks, Penny, TX
