Kananaskis Country AB, Hot Spring by Mist Mountain

Here are the co-ordinates for this hot spring: N 50 32.822' W 114 53.498' Elevation 2321 m. I don't know if it has a name??

If you head into Kananaskis Country off the Trans Canada onto HWY 40, go all the way through the parks, it is past the Highwood Area gate, I think it was another 10-20 km?? you will see a huge grassy area on the left (east) side of the road, there is a dirt/grass road coming off the highway. You will see a marker where the path starts.
When you head up the path it will fork, take the right hand path, then you will come onto an old logging road that is all overgrown, follow that, it will head off to your right. you will have to jump over a creek, keep heading along that road!!! it will take a while, and you will think that you have gone too far. The road is really overgrown at times. Then there is a blue marker on a tree, and a path that heads up off the road to your left. That path goes up through the forest, comes out into an opening and you go all the way up to the top between the 2 peeks. from there you can see the hot spring across from you on the rock mountain. it's way up above the tree line. so you have to go all the way down that mountain, and up the opposite side. it is shale for most of the way up and kinda sucks. but this way is better than cutting around the side of the mountains- believe me!!!!! i will add a coulple pictures.
There are 2 small pools. decent temperature.
