The price was $80 Canadian, it it was definitely 8 times better than the previous hot springs we went to. It had several pools with different temperatures, along with a steam room and a sauna. The steam and sauna room had this mint vapor smell, which I really liked. As for the main mineral pool, it was interesting if you had your ears below water, since you could hear music (I&#8217;m sure the music was also playing out of the water, but the waterfalls I think prevent you from hearing it).<\/p>\n<p>Also, the coed lounge area had unlimited free cookies (I had 3 :)).<\/p>\n<p>After the hot springs we did a distillery tour at Park Distillery. They make vodka, gin, whisky, and some flavored vodkas. I did learn a couple of things during this tour, such as<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It takes at least 3 years for whisky to be in a barrel before they can call it whisky (Park does 5 years)<\/li>\n<li>Gin is made from Juniper berries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, one thing to call out is this amazing drink Jon had that had honey in it (it was called ___ mountain). It&#8217;d be great to get the ingredients and try creating that drink at home.<\/p>\n<p>After the distillery tour, I headed for Calgary!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/travel.johnmatienzo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_0372.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/travel.johnmatienzo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_0373.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/travel.johnmatienzo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_0374.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/travel.johnmatienzo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_0376-1.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/travel.johnmatienzo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_0378-1.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/travel.johnmatienzo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_0377-2.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/travel.johnmatienzo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_0379-1.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/travel.johnmatienzo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_0380-1.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This day was the last day I would be in Banff before heading to Calgary.
