Radium Hot Springs, Mountain village in East Kootenay, Canada
The village stands at 808 meters elevation within the Canadian Rockies, adjacent to Kootenay National Park and its natural mineral springs.
The establishment of Radium Hot Springs in the early 1900s followed the Canadian government's 1920 decision to construct a road connecting Bow and Columbia valleys.
Indigenous peoples of the region utilized these mineral-rich waters for healing practices and spiritual ceremonies long before European settlement began.
The Kootenay National Park Visitor Centre at 7556 Main Street East provides maps, fishing licenses, and park passes for tourists exploring the region.
The village serves as a western gateway to Kootenay National Park, part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks system including Banff, Jasper, and Yoho.
