Saturday was a day at camp. There had been a bit of shower activity during the night and we had laundry to do as well. Two loads of laundry and $22.50 poorer, that chore was done. Time to catch up on reading and Paul took a little bicycle ride from the campground.
On Sunday we decided to try a bicycle trail we had found. Called the Marken-MacPhail Westside Legacy trail, it is a paved, 24 km trail between Fairmont Hot Springs and Invermere. We drove to the south end near Fairmont Hot Springs and headed out for a ride. This trail, although paved, is not like the rail trails we often ride. Although it followed the road for much of it, it had a lot of rolling hills. We rode a total of 26 km round trip. It was a pleasant afternoon.
After stopping for a few groceries, we headed to the trailer for supper. The plan was a trip back to Fairmont Hot Springs for a dip in the pool. Although we had a heavy rain shower along with a bit of a thunderstorm when it was time to leave. We checked radar and it looked like the storm would stay north so we decided to head out.
Other than the lineup of people to get in (the pool had been cleared because they had had a thunderstorm too), and how crowded the pool was (due to the long weekend), we enjoyed these springs better than Radium. The temperature of the hot pool was a bit cooler than at Radium which made it more enjoyable.
