Soak in the Hot Springs in Fairmont
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 by GetawayBC.com
The first European settler in the Fairmont Hot Springs area was George Geary, an Englishman, who came to the area in 1887 and homesteaded a vast tract of land that included the hot springs. His home still stands at the south end of the Mountainside Golf Course. Today, Fairmont Hot Springs Resort offers four and a half star accomodation, spa services, golf, skiing and other recreational activities, but the centrepiece is still the hot spring. Every night the pools are drained, scrubbed, and refilled by morning with fresh, mineral-rich natural hot springs water to ensure the facility is as clean as possible.
