Miette hot springs, Natural thermal springs in Jasper National Park, Canada

Miette hot springs is a group of thermal pools at varying temperatures in Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The springs offer visitors multiple pools for bathing while they take in views of the surrounding mountain landscape.

The springs were developed into public bathing facilities during the 1930s and became a major destination within Jasper National Park. The facilities have been expanded and updated since then to serve growing numbers of visitors.

In the 19th century, Indigenous people led fur traders to the Sulphur Creek springs, the source of today's pools. The three springs and several minor seeps sit above the ruins of the 1938 pool, and the water is rich in sulphate, carbonate, strontium and calcium.

The springs sit at the end of Miette Road, a 17-kilometre seasonal road branching off Highway 16 near the park's east gate. The complex has two hot pools held at about 40 °C and two cold plunge pools at different temperatures. The road is not open year-round, so check conditions before setting out.

Above the ruins of the 1938 pool, three springs and several minor seeps feed the complex; the hottest spring was measured at about 52 °C in 1963. Snowmelt mixing underground can shift surface temperatures by as much as 20 °C between seasons. The water carries sulphate, carbonate, strontium and calcium.
