Europeans first became aware of the springs in 1883. In 1886, the first hot springs were open for visitors.

Now, the hot pool is outdoors. While in the pool, you can look across the valley to Mount Rundle.

Banff Upper Hot Springs is located at 1,585 metres elevation. It makes it the highest hot spring in Canada.
