A 6-day British Columbia loop chaining wild and resort hot springs with mountain golf
This is the trip the whole brand is named for — the backyard lakes before the far latitudes. A six-day self-drive loop through the British Columbia Kootenays, chaining together nine hot springs and four mountain golf courses between soaks, lakes and alpine passes. The map below is the actual drivable route.

Leave home midday, stop at Sutherland Falls, and roll into Halcyon Hot Springs on Upper Arrow Lake — a dip before dinner and a quiet adults’ soak at 9 pm under the stars.
A morning soak and an 11 a.m. checkout, then a hot-springs crawl south — the wild, riverside Halfway and Nakusp springs en route to the caves of Ainsworth Hot Springs.
Nine holes at Balfour beside Kootenay Lake, then the drive east to the Bavarian-themed mountain town of Kimberley and the St Eugene Golf Resort.
Golf at St Eugene in the morning, then the Columbia Valley’s classic run: the natural rock pools of Lussier Hot Springs, a dip at Fairmont, and a night at Copperpoint.
A round at the Radium Resort, a soak in the canyon pools of Radium Hot Springs, a stop at Canyon Hot Springs, and the drive up to Revelstoke for the last night before heading home.
