Trip Notes

Trip Notes for Liard River Hotsprings Provincial Park - Reported July 2007 (click to close)

'Last year we took our Segways to Liard River Hotsprings. It is so accessible and the boardwalk to the springs is the best. Easy for anyone in a chair and it's just heaven. I don't see or remember a lift, so one would have to be able to take a few steps into the water.'
