Radium International Hostel, Radium Hot Spring, BC

"The mountains shall bring peace to the people" a sign along the road welcomes travellers to Radium Hot Springs.

Misty River Lodge is the perfect place to experience everything the mountains have to offer. Hike, bike or ski till your legs hurt; canoe, raft or kayak till your arms fall off; then head to the Hot Springs to soak your aching muscles and finally, kick back on the deck at the hostel and watch the sun set across the Valley - or maybe you want to bypass all the action and just chill out on the deck and enjoy the view.

Kootenay National Park is at our doorstep, the climbing mecca of the Bugaboos just around the corner, Banff, Lake Louise, and Yoho only a short drive away. But beware, while you are out exploring the mountains and looking for wildlife, Big Horn Sheep will be sampling the buffet in our garden, deer will be picking plums from a tree across the road and mamma bear will cautiously herd her cubs through the woods beside the lodge - which brings us back to the idea of just hanging out on the deck...
