  • Mineral Hot Springs in the National Parks of Canada
    MINERAL HOT SPRINGS IN THE NATIONAL PARKS OF CANADA Miette Hot Springs, Jasper National Park. This pamphlet has been compiled in co-operation with the Geological Survey of Canada, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources. Issued under the authority of The Hon. Arthur Laing, P.C., M.P., B.8.A. Minister of Indian Affairs and Xorthern Development. ROGER DUHAMEL, F.R.S.C. QUEEN'S PRINTER AND CONTROLLER OE STATIONERY OTTAWA, 19 0 7 080-52 1 MINERAL HOT SPRINGS IN THE NATIONAL PARKS OF CANADA The Origin of Hot Springs Nearly all of Canada's hot springs occur in the western mountainous belt—the best known ones being the Cave and Basin and Upper Hot Springs in Banff National Park, Radium Hot Springs in Kootenay National Park and Miette Hot Springs in Jasper National Park. These form part of a great chain of springs which extends southward from Circle in Alaska, through Yukon, British Columbia, and the Western United States down into Mexico. Geologists tell us that the waters in these springs are of surface origin. Water from rain or snow falling on the mountains, percolates downward, through cracks, fissures and faults. It becomes heated as it comes in contact with hot rock masses at great depth. The steam generated by this heat rises through cracks in the rocks, condenses into water and gushes out as hot springs. Hot springs have been a source of interest to man for many centuries and have figured largely in health treatment since the time of Hippocrates, the "Father of Medicine". He apparently believed in "water externally, internally, and eternally", not as a panacea for all ills, but as an effective aid to better health.
