We got there around 12:30 and spent the afternoon wandering around. We first headed up to where the hot springs and the gondola were unsure of what we wanted to do. The kids were not interested in the gondola so we wandered around the hot springs a bit and soaked our feet in a small pool.
We headed back to the downtown to get some lunch and ate at a little Mexican restaurant. (Micah had been asking to eat at a Mexican restaurant the entire trip.)
After lunch we took a long walk up to where the Caves and Basin Historical Park is and explored there for a very short time as we arrived only a little bit before closing. It was interesting to see the source if the hot springs. And I remembered as a girl going to the hot springs in banff and seeing the caves which was at this location then. In 1992, after we had been there, they closed down that pool and moved it to the new location and redid the caves and pool and it is now a historical site. It was weird to see the place I had visited as a girl now a museum.
We then walked back to our van taking the scenic route past the stores on the main street and headed off to Calgary.
When we arrived at our hotel we ordered in pizza since none of us felt like going out. We spent the rest of the evening swimming and relaxing.
