Takhini Hot Springs, Natural hot spring near Whitehorse, Canada.
Two outdoor pools maintain different temperatures, with the hot section at 42°C and the cooler section at 36°C, flowing continuously from underground sources.
The first commercial development began in 1907 when William Puckett and A.R. Gordon purchased the land, leading to the construction of wooden pools.
Indigenous communities, including Chief Jim Boss, utilized these mineral-rich waters for centuries before European settlement reached the Yukon territory.
The facility operates year-round with multiple daily sessions, offering changing rooms, online booking systems, and an on-site café for visitors.
During winter months, visitors participate in the International Hair Freezing Contest when temperatures drop below -20°C, creating frozen hairstyles while soaking.
