Miette Hot Springs, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada CM11-36

Miette Hot Springs, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada CM11-36

Description : Heated by geothermal warmth, the Miette Hotsprings are the hottest known springs in the Canadian Rockies.
Each minute approximately 800 litres of steaming water pours out of the natural ducts along the creek. Rich in calcium, sulphate and hydrogen-sulphide (which accounts for the odour of rotten eggs), the water is collected, cooled, chlorinated and filtered, then pumped into the pools of the current aquacourt, opened in 1986. The grand old aquacourt, once adorned with a red peaked roof and magnificent arches, is now a ruin open to the public. Past it a walkway leads up the creek to the source of the springs where nearby boulders weathered from the Miette Reef, an important geological formation, can be spotted.
