Radium Hot Springs sits where Kootenay National Park meets the Columbia Valley. The hot pools are 3 km up the road, Banff is about 90 minutes over the pass, and in winter the bighorn sheep walk through the village.
Pick the mood. We handle the timing, the packed lunch, and the small local details that keep a trip from feeling manufactured.
The Parks Canada hot pools sit 3 km up the road at the mouth of Sinclair Canyon. There are no reservations, so go early on weekends and holidays, and bring a national park pass as well as admission.
Highway 93 climbs through the red cliffs of Sinclair Canyon and runs 94 km through the park to Banff. There is no fuel, food or cell service inside it, so we send you off with a full tank and a packed lunch.
Below the lodge, the Columbia Wetlands run about 180 km down the valley, one of the longest intact wetlands in North America. Invermere and Lake Windermere are 15 minutes south.
Snow on the canyon rim, steam off the hot pool, and a fire waiting when you get back. Theo keeps the woodpile stacked from October.
We keep a short list of places worth the detour and tell you what is good this week. Ask at breakfast.
Cedar & Stone is a concept, so the photographs on this site are illustrative. The places, distances and park details are real, from Parks Canada and the Province of BC.
Your reservation lands with us, not a platform. Ask anything before you book: rooms, timing, the springs, dinner worth driving for.
Next you see every room with its nightly rate and the full total, taxes included.
