Visitors flock to Maquinna Marine Provincial Park in Clayoquot Sound to soak in the natural hot mineral spring pools, which remain at an average temperature of approximately 50 degrees Celsius. The delightful hot pools flow from one level to the next, gradually becoming cooler as the fresh spring water is cooled by ocean swells.
The park, located northwest of Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island can only be reached by boat or by air. A 2-km boardwalk trail leads from the head of the dock to the hot springs through old-growth rainforest leads to the hot pools. The path is made of engraved wood boards. |

I love the idea of this picture. I've posted a workshop because I dislike the first name being cut in half. Anyway all those names on the path to the hot pools.
