The hot and warm springs of Halcyon Hot Springs Resort, which are located on the upper deck, are at the heart of Halcyon’s therapeutic powers. There, you may soak up the minerals in the water, float quietly through the warm pool’s jetted swim channel, massage your back in front of the pressure jets, or simply relax beneath the clear mountain skies.
The Sinixt and Ktunaxa aboriginal peoples, who fought in the area, were aware of the springs. Robert Waldron Sanderson was assisted by First Nations people in locating the springs’ source. Sanderson was captain of a steamer or a small catamaran in the Arrow Lakes by 1888. He purchased 400 acres of crown land, which included the springs, in 1890.
In 1924, British Army Brigadier-General Dr. Frederick Burnham, a surgeon, converted the hotel into a sanatorium, prohibiting smoking and alcohol consumption. He maintained the prices low to appeal to both upper- and lower-class customers. The high quantities of lithium in the natural hot springs water at Halcyon earned it international prominence as a health centre, stressing the restorative capabilities of the water. The hotel burned down in 1955, taking Dr. Burnham’s life with it. Mount Burnham, which is located across from the resort, bears his name. The site was abandoned due to a lack of road access.
In 1998, a lodge, cabins and hot pools were built, and opened the following year.
Today, there’s so much to see and do at Halcyon Hot Springs Village and Spa, including a lake, mountains, natural hot springs, wilderness, comfort, fun, and peace. Discover the West Kootenays’ natural beauty.
On those hot summer days, the crystal-clear Arrow Lake beckons a dip (or a swim). Rentals are offered for canoes, SUP paddle boards, and kayaks.
The Lithia Waters at Halcyon Hot Springs offer a unique combination of minerals that are incredibly calming and good for a range of ailments. Fresh hot spring water is continuously pumped into the pools. While gazing out over tranquil Arrow Lake and the Monashee Mountain range, relax and revitalise in the natural mineral spring pools. Stay a little longer at the springs and settle into one of the lovely cabins, magnificent cottages, or Spectacular chalets.
The Kingfisher Restaurant serves excellent cuisine, and the Spa at Halcyon offers relaxing treatments. The resort is open all year, and the winters are especially beautiful thanks to the neighbouring world-class skiing.
Snowy peaks, hot springs and road trips. As the temperature drops, is there a better way to spend the weekend?
Reminiscing on our time last weekend with fordcanada at the beautiful halcyonhotsprings. 🔥

The Selkirk Mountains dominate the southeast of BC and has gorgeous outdoors and wonderful communities. Diane Selkirk and her family have a connection to this land, but not the one you think considering her last name. She explores the deep history the area has to offer in this well crafted article. Here is an excerpt from Exploring The Selkirks. ⛰️
"As much as I like to proclaim them as my own, the Selkirk Mountains are actually named for Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk, not me. Along with the Monashee and Purcell Mountains, they’re all a part of the Columbia Range and lie just to the west of the Rocky Mountains. They have a number of claims to fame—including the fact they were a major obstacle when building the Canadian Pacific Railway; and remained that way until the discovery of Rogers Pass. Geologically they’re also quite fascinating. Mined for coal, copper, zinc, silver and gold, they’re older than the Rockies and were once a waterfront range. To their west was the Pacific Ocean while to the east was the inland sea that separated the mountains from the Canadian Shield many millennia ago.
The Selkirks (and the entire Kootenay region, actually) also played an outsized role in my family history. So—heading into the second winter of the pandemic—visiting a mountain range with my name on it seemed like as good an excuse as any for a road trip. Not only was there the name thing, but the Kootenays are home to a bunch of picturesque little towns I’ve always wanted to visit. Add in a little late-autumn colour, possible early snow and hot springs(!) and my husband Evan and I had the makings for a perfect getaway."

A short visit at the cabin in Nakusp…totally worth the pouring rain, freezing cold mountain passes, and easily the most challenging mountain side dirt road I’ve ever experienced on a motorcycle…pushed my limits today, but it felt amazing!!
