Ainsworth Hot Springs resort is the second highest rated hot springs in British Columbia. It is also one of the rare hot springs in BC that contain natural lithium in the water. The hot caves will have you feeling relaxed like a marshmallow. As there isn't much in the area, there is an on-site restaurant with gourmet and regular good options at very reasonable prices. The service at the hotel is excellent and the rooms are very clean and bright. Spending the extra money for a deluxe mountain view room is well worth it. Waking up to a sunset or watching the moon rise over the mountains is just amazing. The hot caves fills itself up with new water 6 times a day while the pool fills up 4 times. The best time to go is during the off season and on week days since weekends here can get nuts. The hot springs is open to the public at a rate of $12 per person and opens at 10AM. From 8:30AM to 10AM is for hotel guests only. If your staying as a guest there is no fee to use the springs as it's included in the cost of your room.
