Sasquatch Country: The beautiful City of Harrison Hot Springs in British Columbia, which is often referred to as the "Sasquatch Capital of the World" because of its long history of Sasquatch sightings. |

Karen Duquette took a rest alongside of Sasquatch, but suddenly realized she was sitting just under his big old smelly armpit. |

The city of Harrison Hot Springs is just 25 minutes west of Hope. The biggest draw here are the hot springs. Guests at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort have access to the resort's PRIVATE pool which is pumped from one of the two springs in the area. Daytrippers can access the public pool (for a charge). The water comes from a hot spring. The indoor pools are cooled to 38 degrees Celsius. The natural springs - named Potash and Sulphur - are 40 and 65 degrees Celsius, respectively. The two RV Gypsies did not use the public pool. |

Harrison Watersports: The only floating water park in southwestern British Columbia has a full range of Harrison's best water sport rentals: Banana Tube Rides, Blaster Bumper Boats, "See Doos" and more. There is a charge. The two RV Gypsies did not do this, but they enjoyed watching the kids have lots of fun. Karen would have liked to, but Lee is not fond of water anymore. |

The two RV Gypsies had also been to Harrison Hot Springs May 15, 2009 because they wanted to see the well-advertised sand castle competitions, but they could not get anywhere near the city because of the amount of traffic, cars, people, and lack of parking. So they just enjoyed a beautiful area just outside of the main part of the city. In 2015, the lady at the Visitor Center told the two RV Gypsies that they no longer have the sand castle competitions here. |
