Miette Hot Springs are the hottest mineral springs in the Canadian Rockies. There are two large hot pools (40°c)and two smaller cool pools. Mountains surround the main pool area.

Before or after your soak, consider the short walk to the site of the hot springs source in the nearby canyon. The path passes the original 1930s aquacourt as well. Allow 30-45 minutes for the 1.2km return trip.

Miette Hot Springs is about an hour's drive from Jasper (61km). This hot spring can get pretty crowded. Expect to wait 15-20 minutes to enter the hot springs at busy times.

In the parking area, look out for big horn sheep. They like to lick salt from the undercarriage of parked vehicles.

A Parks Canada parks pass is required to explore Jasper National Park ($22/day for a vehicle of up to 7 people).
