Radium Hot Springs’ riverside park blends bright turquoise mineral water with mountain backdrop views. Photograph steaming pools, boardwalk reflections on calm mornings, and park gardens against the Kootenay Rockies. Best light is sunrise–early afternoon for crisp water color; winter can add dramatic steam and snow (more slippery paths). Parking is available near the hot springs; expect variable crowds on weekends.
