Route Description for Kuskanax Creek Nakusp Hot Springs Trail
Hiking the Kuskanax Creek Nakusp Hot Springs Trail is a fun but lengthy route that will leave your legs a bit tired and in need of a good soak, which is fortunate because the relaxing hot springs will be waiting for you at the terminus of your hike. Setting out from the parking area, the trail sets off into the dense tree cover and passes through beautiful stretches of moss-covered old-growth forest. As you climb your way through the canyon, you will eventually reach a junction marking the end of the trail. Those hikers looking to make their way to the hot springs will need to head left to cross over a wooden bridge that spans Kuskanax Creek and provides a charming view over its rushing water. If you aren’t interested in a relaxing soak in the thermal pools, head back down the same trail to return to your vehicle.
