Halcyon Hot Springs, Arrow Lakes, British Columbia, Canada CM11-11

Description : For more than a century, people have been drawn to the healing waters of Halcyon Hot Springs.

The first to stake his future on the site was Capt. Robert Sanderson, a mechanical engineer who built steamships to engage in trade along the lake system. In 1890, he bought 400 acres of Crown land and, taking advantage of the pristine mountain surroundings and soothing waters, developed the property. Naming his hotel Halcyon – meaning calm and serene -– Sanderson celebrated its opening in September 1894 with fiddles and feasting. The beneficial hot mineral waters have a unique combination of sodium, lithium, magnesium, calcium, & strontium which can provide relief from arthritis, osteoporosis, and gout. All the pools feature a spectacular view overlooking Arrow Lake and the Monashee mountain range.
