been very smoky here and you can&#8217;t see much. \u00a0And, the smoke has been thick and you can feel it when you breath. \u00a0I&#8217;ve been leaving the trailer closed up with the air on to avoid getting a lot of smoke inside.<\/p>\n<p>The hot springs are a real popular destination here in B.C. \u00a0The RV park is at the hot springs, with a hotel, spa, restaurants, zipline rides, bouncy things for the kids, horse rides and of course&#8230;the hot springs.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a huge pool that is heated with water from the hot springs, and a very pretty waterfall a little away from the resort where there are natural pools that you can rest in like a hot tub. \u00a0We&#8217;re right up against the southern end of the Canadian Rockies and the view out of our front door is spectacular! \u00a0But, until the last day we couldn&#8217;t really see it. \u00a0See my post for two pictures of the same view &#8211; on a smoky day and a clear day.<\/p>\n<p>Here are pictures of the waterfall and pools:<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" scoped>.rbs_gallery_69e5b17e5bd3dSpinner{\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 50px auto;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50px;\r\n\t\t\t\theight:
