A few weeks ago, I visited the town of Harrison Hot Springs for the first time. Though we walked by the source of the hot springs (steamy, bubbly, and the distinct rotten egg smell of sulphur), we didn't actually spend time soaking in the hot springs (reserved to resort guests, or accessed at the public pool). Instead, we took advantage of the warming spring weather, and went on several walks and hikes around the town. The Harrison Grind (longer, but not even close to the sweat you'll work up at the Grouse Grind), the Hick's Lake trail, the Spirit trail (with mask adorned trees, sculpted by a local artist), and the Whippoorwill Point trail were some of the ones we explored. I had never been to Harrison before, and know it's a summer haven for many. Though the town wasn't as dead as I was expecting it to be, it was still nice to be there before the hoards of summer-goers arrive.
