Harrison Hot Springs travel guide: The weekend getaway
Read the blog post!
Welcome to Harrison Hot Springs. This quiet little resort town is perfect for enjoying time on the water, in the water, in the forest, or straight up relaxing.
Harrison Hot Springs is especially convenient for Vancouverities. It’s only an hour and a half from the city, and you get the relaxing, island vibe without ever having to take a ferry.
Our journey begins right here where I’m staying, at the Harrison Hot springs resort. There’s not a whole lot of places to stay in town - and I gotta say, if you’re coming here, this looks like THE place to be in town. With the option of lakeside views and entrance to the famed hot springs included in the price of your stay, it makes for a pretty sweet getaway.
I also learned once we were there that being on their mailing list can score you a really good deal. It sounds like they only email them out about 3 or 4 times a year, but prices are great and can include perks like a free breakfast. So maybe I’ll get in on this next time - now that I know about it!
NOTE: The main hotel building has no air conditioning. You can stay in the East or West towers for air conditioned rooms.
The resort has 5 pools which are fed from the spring's source. The pools have varying temperatures.
The Coast Salish peoples had known about the springs for years. They thought the water had supernatural or spiritual powers. Non-native people only stumbled across the springs hundreds of years after their existence was known by the Coast Salish.
Legend has it that a boat full of gold rush miners capsized during a winter storm. Instead of plunging into cold water, they pleasantly found warm water! Harrison Hot Springs became a destination for those looking to relax - and cure a whole bunch of maladies, from paralysis to diabetes. These waters may be restorative, but expecting this is a bit ambitious!
Food: One note before you do get into town - grocery options are limited, so stop to shop at Aggasiz before getting here.
Hick Lake Loop - 6 KM trail
Hicks Lake itself is beautiful. The trail, though, is a bit odd. About half of trail has been turned into a gravel road, thanks to the hydro company. We even found a park ranger to ask if there was another trail we were missing, but nope - we were on it!
The other half around the lake is a more typical trail. It's an easy hike for the most part - but there are about 10 or so spots which are pretty dodgy. We're talking broken bridges, slippery mud flats with no stable footing across it, that kinda thing. If that doesn't sound good to you, maybe just enjoy the beaches.
There few beaches on this lake which have spectacular scenery. Some are the large ones are easily accessible, and there's a few great spots off the trail as well.
The lake is in Sasquatch Provincial Park, and you can even go camping and fishing here. They stock the lake each year with about 1000 rainbow trout, and you’re free to fish providing you’ve got a fishing license - which you can easily apply for online.
We didn’t need to stay here for the night, but we did enjoy a cinnamon bun which we brought with us from Chuck and Kitty’s Country Cafe - where we came across Chuck himself! Cinnamon buns may not be traditional hiking food, but I think I could start a trend!
For dinner, got one of the best seats in the whole town! Well, at least as close to the ocean as you could get. We got a delicious dinner the Hungry Chef Eatery and took it to the picnic tables out at Rendall Park at the far end of the village. A perfect way to watch the sun set before heading back to hot spring pools.
Whippoorwill Point
This morning we took the Whippoorwill Point and Sand Cove beach trail, which conveniently starts right by the resort. As you head to the start of the trail, you’ll also walk past the source of the spring and the 145degree Fareinheight water. You can’t get inside, but we did see some people soaking in the relaxing, yet distinctly sulphurous-smelling, mineral water mixed with lake water in a small stream beside it.

Winter RV Camping in Bigfoot Country in Canada!
Today, I come to you from deep in Bigfoot country at Sasquatch Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. Winter RV camping is very special to me, as few know the joys of having miles of wilderness to yourself and how mild the weather can often be...if you are able to just get out there and do it!
I am near where many of the Bigfoot sightings have been over the last 100 years here in Canada. While I have never seen one (doubt it is even possible lol), the stories are fun and the large game like cougars and bears have been a joy to see over the years.
Winter bond docking in the Canadian wilderness has it's challenges...the main one being energy to power my furnace 18 hours a day. Thankfully, with my Generac gas generator, there is little worries. That little guy has been good to me and I will try to do a follow up video on my 1st year with it and how it has worked out for me.
A little solitude in the great white north is always a nice thing. Just put on a pizza on the outdoor fire grill and am about to enjoy it!
In the meantime, keep your wheels on the ground!
And post your favorite Bigfoot or Sasquatch story or theory in the comments bellow!

Harrison Lake ride 2014
A ride north up the west side of Harrison Lake. Trip was planned to head to the Gang Ranch but was cut short by a sidewall blowout. Bikes in the video are 2 2014 R120GS, 2013 G650GS and a 2013 F700G. We left out of Seattle Saturday morning, hit the hot springs and camped then proceeded to Pemberton. Had to tow one of the bikes back to Vancouver to pick up a new tire, then proceeded home Tuesday afternoon. Most of the video was shot on a Sony helmet cam, GoPro or an iPhone. All photos taken on an iPhone 6plus.
SASQUATCH ENCOUNTER: British Columbia 1924
In 1924 Albert Ostman ventured into the mountains of British Columbia in search of a lost gold mine. He failed to find his gold... instead something found him.
Something that was so intrigued by him it bundled him up while he was sleeping and carried him off deep into the mountains.
Albert managed to escape after several days but out of fear of ridicule kept his ordeal a tight-lipped secret for decades before finally revealing it to John Greene in 1957.
For the first time this extraordinary tale is presented from the perspective of the Sasquatch…
