Nakusp Hot Springs, Arrow Lakes, British Columbia, Canada CM11-12

Description : Although the town of Nakusp started in 1892, the Hot Springs, nine miles up the Kuskanax valley, were to be staked by Darragh and Lester Messrs in 1894
Even then, this wilderness thermal wonder was regarded as a God-given gift that should be open to the public free and unobstructed. The government relented and cancelled the application, returning the men,s down payment.
Hiking the trail on a weekend by eight to twelve year old children, their lard pail lunch, willow stick fishing pole and best-of-all freedom from supervision, was a journey into paradise. It was growing up on your own, in a world that it is hard to imagine. There are a thousand stories to be told of this playground hidden in one of the Selkirk,s most beautiful valleys but the glory of the water and its comfort to the body always remains the same.
