Have a valid passport and a weekend to spare? Pack a bag and start your engine, because just south of Alberta, you’ll find Quinn’s Hot Springs Resort, a charming destination with a stunning view and plenty to do.

Located in Paradise, Montana (approximately three hours from the border), this vacation spot has five natural flow-through pools with temperatures that range from 100 to 106 degrees Fahrenheit (37°C – 41°C).

Want to stay cool? They also have two salt-treated lagoons that are maintained at a far cooler temperature and great for the whole family, as well as a cold plunge.

When you get tired of hopping from one basin to another, they’ve also got a cozy lodge, a fine-dining restaurant, and a tavern with billiard tables, gaming machines and TVs.

What’s more, they have a poolside bar where you can grab a boozy beverage, then head back to the water, drink in hand!

If you’d like to check it out day passes (which you have to pre-purchase before your visit) start at just $24 CAD while their lodging (which also gives you unlimited access to their pools) starts at $290 CAD a night – but we recommend booking ASAP.

This place fills up quickly.

You’re going to have a blast or a super relaxing time. The resort is your oyster!

Enjoy and happy floating.
