Check out these five must-do activities when you visit Radium Hot Springs this winter.
1. Drive Through the Arches of the Sinclair Canyon
Drive through the Sinclair Canyon on Highway 93, known as the gateway to the Columbia Valley. When the canyon is covered in snow, it makes travelers feel like they are in a winter wonderland. Explorers can park on either side of the canyon and explore the area by foot, view interruptive signage, take in the view, and capture some incredible photos to enjoy for years to come!
Walk along the Old Coach Trail and see stunning sights of the Columbia River Wetlands, the Purcell and Rocky Mountain ranges. Keep your eye out for wild life, you are likely to spot Eagles, Bohemian Waxwings, and if you are lucky vagrant Northern Cardinal. A perfect trail for all levels and a gorgeous excursion to explore all year long. Â
Find the trail here. Note: winter hiking brings mixed conditions, come prepared with proper equipment including hiking footwear, warm layers, and spikes.
Grab your skates and head to the Outdoor Rink at Legends Field. The rink is perfect for those who are just learning to skate, families wanting to play some hockey or experienced skaters. Looking to rent a pair of skates? Head up to Far Out Adventure for all your winter gear rentals.
