August 28, 2023
Miette Hot Springs and Miette Hot Springs Bungalows closed unexpectedly on June 19, 2023, following a snow storm that caused a mudslide, hundreds of downed trees, and a significant washout that closed Miette Road.
On September 1, 2023, Parks Canada will welcome visitors back to Miette Hot Springs to once again enjoy the hottest mineral water in the Canadian Rockies. Miette Hot Springs Bungalows, the only privately owned facility past the Miette Road closure, will also reopen.
Visiting Miette Hot Springs
Miette Road will be open by August 31, 2023, with a section of the road limited to single-lane alternating traffic controlled by traffic lights. Please obey reduced speed limits and follow the directions of traffic control equipment. Expect short delays.
Miette Hot Springs hours of operation:
- 1 pm to 9 pm from September 1 to 4, 2023
- 2 pm to 8 pm daily from September 5 to October 9, 2023
- Hours are subject to change.
To maintain the required lifeguard-to-patron ratio, the number of people in the pool during peak visitation periods may be restricted due to staff shortages.
Please visit our website for the latest updates and hours of operation.
Miette Hot Springs will close for the season on October 9, 2023, and will reopen in May 2024.
Safety is our top priority.
Until Miette Road is officially reopened, an area closure order is in place for public safety. Check Alberta511 for the most up-to-date road status.
The washout on Miette Road was on a particularly steep section which made ensuring safe mitigation measures challenging. The washed-out slope has been deemed stable by geotechnical engineers with rerouting to allow for single-lane alternating traffic.
Parks Canada is working on a longer-term solution that will establish a permanent realignment of the road.
