Miette Hot Springs was high up on my bucket list when coming to Jasper, but I didn't get the chance to go before they closed for the season in mid-October. But here's what I know 👇🏻
Miette Hot Springs offers the hottest natural mineral waters in the Canadian Rockies. The springs emerge from the earth at a steamy 54 °C (129 °F) before being cooled to 40 °C (104 °F) for the pools.
It is surrounded by mountain views & bighorn sheep & elk are common sights along the road to the springs.
Facilities
Two large outdoor hot pools with panoramic mountain views
Two cold plunge pools for contrast therapy
Modern changing rooms, showers, and lockers
On-site café/snack bar (seasonal)
Gift shop and visitor information area
No lodging is available directly at the springs, but accommodations can be found nearby in Jasper, Hinton, or at Pocahontas Cabins (about 5 minutes away).
Things to Do Nearby
Sulphur Skyline Trail: One of Jasper’s best day hikes — 2.5 mi uphill trek with panoramic summit views. The trailhead starts right at the hot springs parking lot.
Pocahontas Mine Trail: A short interpretive trail exploring the remains of an early 1900s coal mining town.
Wildlife viewing: Frequent opportunities to spot elk, bighorn sheep, and bears along Miette Road.
NOTES:
Bring your own towel and swimsuit (rentals are sometimes available but limited).
Arrive early or later in the day to avoid crowds, especially in July and August.
The road may close temporarily in spring/fall due to weather — check Parks Canada updates before heading out.
