Hot Springs Heaven~

There are a number of natural hot springs in Alaska and Canada.  The quaint little town of Tenakee Springs, on Chichagof Island, has NO cars but lots of hot springs!  Some people have even tapped this water to heat their homes. In the center of town is a bath house, built over a hot springs of constant 105 degree water.  Dorothy and Alice took advantage of it during women's hours... no suits allowed!
Following our stay in Sitka, on Baranof Island, we went to Warm Springs Bay... where a raging waterfall runs right beside three hot pools: 120, 105, and 100 degrees...    We liked the nice 'cool' one right off of the waterfall- in our suits!  We hope to get to Bishop Bay Hot Springs in B.C., also~
