Canyon Hot Springs
Water from the spring is piped almost 2 miles down the valley side to feed the 15,000 gallon hot pool and the 60,000 gallon swimming pool. The mineral waters of Albert Canyon were allegedly discovered by CPR workman at the turn of the century. The railway employees dug a pit at the hot springs and lined it with heavy timbers.
The open air "hot tub" was used by visitors and residents for many years. Today the Canyon Hot Springs are some distance away, with the water from the hot springs being piped to the pools. The Albert Canyon "ghost" town remains a short distance south of the present pool site.
The village of Albert Canyon, the gorge, the peaks and the hot springs were all named for Albert Rogers, nephew of Major Rogers, who undertook mnay exploration trips in the area, including the discovery of Rogers Pass.
