Jasper hot springs: Miette Hot Springs
The hot springs near Jasper are the Miette Hot Springs. Parks Canada runs the pools, and entry costs extra on top of your national park pass. A free park entry for youth does not include the pools. The site is 61 km from the town of Jasper, and the drive is part of the trip.
The pools are seasonal. Motor access on the Miette Road is planned from 15 May to 12 October in 2026, and after that the road closes for winter. The 2026 season ended on 12 October. If you want a different outing now, see the Jasper tours or the list of things to do in Jasper.

The road to the hot springs
From the town of Jasper, drive about 44 km on Highway 16 to the turn-off, then 17 km on the winding Miette Road. Allow time for the curves and for animals on the road. The maximum vehicle length is 7.5 m. Trailers and large motorhomes may not go beyond Miette Campground.
The date the road opens does not tell you the first day the pools open, so check both before you leave. In the autumn season there were no advance tickets: you bought on site, first come, first served, every day of the season including holidays. Do not assume the same for another year.
Opening hours
In the autumn period from 8 September to 12 October, the pools were open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with last entry at 8:30 p.m. There was no quiet hour. Summer hours differ, and the hours for the next season are posted by Parks Canada before opening.
