There are two good things about visiting summer cities in the winter: no one's around and there are a ton of great deals. This past weekend I went to Harrison Hot Springs. Or more specifically, Harrison Hot Springs Resort.
I'd never been to the resort in Harrison, I'd only ever camped but since we were there for Jeff's Christmas Party and the boss put us up in the swanky hotel, I was more than happy to get a new view of the lake.
We pretty much rolled into town, took a few photos in the freezing-cold wind then spend the rest of the night in the resort. Other than, the guy kite surfing in the afternoon and the coworker who jumped in the lake at midnight, it seemed like everyone was staying out of the cold.
The selling feature of the resort is the hot spring water they pump into a number of different indoor and outdoor pools. Each pool is a different temperature and lucky us, no one was in the cooler (still bathwater temperature) pool after dinner. It was like we had our own huge bathtub to relax in.
Another selling feature of the resort, it's only an hour and a half away from Vancouver. In the summer, I think I'd still opt for camping and a dip in one of the nearby lakes. The resort was great but had the stay not been a gift from the boss, it would have been a little out of my price range.
