Takhini Hot Springs — Whitehorse Corridor Geothermal Soak

Takhini Hot Springs sits on the Hot Springs Road off the Alaska Highway near Whitehorse, fed by genuine geothermal mineral water that keeps the outdoor pools warm year-round. It’s a real, working facility — not a tourist trap — with pools, changing rooms, and a small café. After days of washboard on the Champagne-to-Hutshi circuit or the Dezadeash Lake backcountry roads, this is where you strip off the trail grime and let your joints recover. It gets busy on summer weekends, so roll in on a weekday if you can.

Access is paved all the way — any rig makes it. The facility also has a campground on-site if you need a night with showers. Verify seasonal hours before you go; winter operation is confirmed but summer hours can shift. Cell signal is decent this close to Whitehorse.

Mineral hot springs — scrub off the trail dust.
