Dewar Creek Hot Springs

Dewar Creek Hot Springs lie deep in the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy in southeastern British Columbia, accessible by a challenging multi-day wilderness hike through the Purcell Mountains. The springs produce water at around 50°C that flows into natural pools in an alpine meadow setting surrounded by rugged Purcell peaks. The remoteness — typically a 25-kilometre hike each way — rewards visitors with pools and camping in a spectacular wilderness that few people ever see. The Purcells are known for their exceptional wildflower meadows and mountain wildlife.
