We SUFFERED for DAYS to find this Secret Hot Spring
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- There is a hot spring so special, so exceptional, so remote, that those who have been, refuse to give out its location. In fact, the hike in would put most off the trip. Despite warnings of a bear infestation, we headed into the bush to find the secret hot springs.

Hey guys, thanks for choosing to watch this video despite the lack of bikes in it! Sometimes the adventures we go on just aren’t meant for bikes 🙂
No problem! Love the content!
Adventure. That's exactly why we love watching your video 🙂
Send it off the waterfall!!
we watch for you guys, bikes are a bonus 🙌
loved it just like the hiking video when you broke your wrist
Between Yuka's falling over strats and swimming abilities, I agree she's like a turtle 🐢

I love that gems like this still remain a struggle to find. Not everything needs to be a tourist destination.
Yes! Gatekeeping is oftentimes good for nature... Only the people who respect it and love it enough are willing to find it!
It is a tourist destination and they are tourists. They don't live or work there.
Very nice! The pain was worth the pleasure. One hint for wading across and through streams is to use a staff or break a stick off to use as a staff. Fishers refer to it as a "wading staff" or "staff of life". Having a third or fourth point of contact with the slippery rocks under foot really does help. Fun video!
Or hold hands - both provide much more stability.
I’m definitely a tracking pole user - great for river crossings, but also can be used to push aside the bush when bushwhacking rather than tearing up your clothes! 👍🏼
This is one of the places that make us want to explore BC more. Massive props to you both for going there and back, making this video and keeping the mystery so other adventurers get to 'discover' it on their own!
I love your adventure videos and this one was special. Such an amazing, soul cleansing journey. Happy and safe adventuring.
That's D.R. Hot Springs! Natural beauties belong to all and none of us. Nobody should be entitled to keep the location secret but those who visit should be responsible of keeping it clean and be respectful towards the nature.
Yes sir, never been a fan of gatekeeping especially on a bloody public forum.
Hi there, where could I find some information on it? :)
D.R.?

Got to the BCGS site. They have a map of all the hotsprings in BC, with names, coordinates, flow rates, pH, etc. Easy peasy.
I landed a helicopter at this hotspring years ago. Difficult to get to from the ground is an understatement.
Wow we all know that Canada is one of the most beautiful places on earth and this just shows why I hope no one reveals the location of this beautiful place thank you Eric and Yuka for sharing this with us
The lengths van-lifers will go for a hot bath are amazing.
😅
@@whitemonk369 😂😂😂it’s in 🇨🇦!
just wonder...If nobody knows where it is and you didnt tell and anybody else doesnt want to say it then how do you know where it is 🤔
Stop blowing up the good camping on the internet. By all means go and enjoy them, take pictures and show your friends. Just stop posting the where's and how's to get there. Ever heard of Notellem creek?
It’s called, ego.
What an adventure, from the beginning to the end! I admire your confidence, your abilities und your everlasting good mood! Best regards, Werner
Hey I know y’all are probably very experienced in the outdoor life! I do recommend you unhook your waist and chest straps when crossing rivers. I made the mistake of not doing that and almost drown in 12 inches of water because I couldn’t unhook after I fell in. Lovely video!
Watching them crossing made me so nervous. Even shallow water can be dangerous when you get weighted down
Absolutely! Over 50 years ago I was crossing The Teklanika River ( made famous by "Into the Wild") and got knocked over and carried away by waist high fast water, stomach up with my big back in the water. Luckily one the two other guys on the hike was able to run fast enough and cut around a bend to pull me out. I learned to sling the pack over one shoulder and use a sturdy stick or hiking poles.
You suffered? I hope you never have to actually suffer for REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEal- instead of DoosheTube hits.
thanks for sharing this adventure, with amazing image quality and presentation. Absolutely incredible location, can hardly believe it. And you did all the hard work for us too :P
I really wanna go! but I refuse to be a contributing factor into why places like this get destroyed.
Guys I received the radiation from the hot springs and now we are sending helium 3 and 4 to settle down the earthquake swarming volcano situation
Thanks for not revealing the location. This place would be trashed by people who don't respect nature as much as the rest of us. It's nice to know that it's out there.
People who don't respect nature doesn't hike 6 days to get to a spot to trash...
I found it kinda irritating how they just left their bikes
Obviously someone revealed the location, or you wouldn't have been able to know about it, and find it
Way to true. It's so funny when people get told about a place, to keep it secret in the best interest, like they're doing you a favor hahaha.
Awesome video Eric, don't by shy about showing non-bike adventures you guys encounter in your travels, super cool to see and respect for keeping the location secret.
That actually looks a bit less tough than I'd been expecting having read about this spring for many years. Looks like enough people have been going that there is the start of a trail developing.
Hey man I’ve been trying to find articles about this and I can’t which is a good thing. Anyway you could point me in the right direction? Best wishes.
Definitely wondering the same thing
Does anyone have any hints?
You're lucky the government didn't shut down your back account when you were almost there!
Allways a good day when you post a vid😃
Where’s Foresty Forest and his chainsaw when you need him?
Alaska
Love that guy!
@@ToddNZMTB My wife got to take Rocko for a walk. She loves Rocko more than she loves me.
@@chrisallen2005 ha ha 😄
Cool video! But I feel like hiking poles might have been nice with all the creek crossings?
Is this in Canada?
Nice change of pace, that was amazing! Thanks for keeping it a secret
Awesome thanks,enjoy watching your video. ✌🏻👊
Wow! Your adventure is leveling up 👏Keep making adventure content like this eric. Amazing experience!
walter white finally getting some time off
Hello from Naples, Florida. That was quite an adventure to the hot spring. We enjoyed. Thank you so much for sharing with us. 👍
Is there poison oak out there?
"suffered" all in caps is a bit of a strong word, a bit click bait, and certainly 1st-world problem.
You guys you go back to trailside bike park in Utah because they renovated some stuff.
Nice - there's a great one here in NZ, about 2min walk from the main road - I'm astounded more people don't know about it! There's _kind of_ a trail to it, but I've never seen any indication that anyone has visited prior to me arriving. No footprints in mud or snow, no tyre tracks where you park. Never seen it mentioned online, no pics... Brilliant.
Any tip for a local?
When I was there in 2004/5 there were a few that were quiet not far from the main Rotoroa parks including a waterfall, but I'm guessing they are honey pots these days.
Wow, that’s definitely the meaning of a true hidden gem! I’d love to go find it myself but I’m such a city slicker I wouldn’t last very long on that hike. 😂
Invest in some Trekking Poles!
Wish I could find this spot~ Wonderful treasure to find you guys deserved it!
You and me both let me know if you find it I'm a Backcountry Adventure who would love to see it
@SurAustin I've done a lot thousands of thousands of miles. That just looks like a very nice hot spring in particular
Not much of a secret
Wait a second, I just rewatched and noticed the area you came to the river is different from where I got to the river. Did you take the forest path off the main road? If so that gives me some good info. I'm planning on trying to take an atv to the hotsprings northeast of this one and was wondering how to get to the camp site on the river to access the trails behind.
Not revealing location is only making me want to go more 😛😊 cool video 🤗
You should really invest in traction mats if you’re going to be driving on roads like this!
That's what bushes are for.
Bears live in those natural places and those places are the homes of the bears and other animals. It's humans who overpopulate and infest things.
Another great video. You two weren't worried about someone else finding your bikes or your van blocking that path?
This is Canada, first of all. Secondly who's going to find those bikes out of sight from the trail? On the random chance someone walks that trail during the few days their bikes are there, why would they be bushwacking 50' off the trail?
Trekking Poles?😉
Quick before some geothermal energy company buys the land and harnesses infinite free clean energy.
The last third of that video was absolutely wonderful, the hot water springs took my breath away. However, I have to be honest and say that the first two thirds of the video did not look like fun at all🤣, sorry.
You have to have some momentum going before you start crossing mud! 😂
Have you guys ever thought about an East Coast Bike Tour? We have some great stuff to offer over here!
Meh...
? How ? When ? Me !
enjoyed the video Yuka is so cute , love your accent.
When it comes to getting through muddy sections momentum is your friend. Choose the smoothest line & enter as fast as comfortably possible. You did ok. Starting further back on solid ground would have been better. Good job getting unstuck in that little creek! That van is long & low & heavy I’m sure. Super nice adventure wagon!
Awesome video Eric, it’s great to see you guys trying something different and it totally worked.
Awesome video
Myself and my husband go to the closer more public hot springs every year. I've always wanted to try my hand at this hike though. thanks for the video!
What are the closer hot springs called?
In Pemberton is 2 Hot springs
Well done Eric and Yuka!
So cool! Did it smell like sulfur?
Remember , leave nothing but footprints,,,,,, and take nothing but pictures
Is this in prince George area
You really need to add a strong winch with plenty of cable to the van. If mounted up front you can also add a pulley on the rear for pulling backwards.
That was an urban vehicle I would never take off pavement.
No machete!!! Is good to know about mtb but better to know about survival.
can you say " suffered for secret hot spring " like Sylvester the Cat ??
Hey Eric where did Yuka get her hat in this video?
How did you know the area of where the hot spring was
Canadian secret onsen
SCAM!
As a potential low to moderate temperature geothermal resource the "X" area is characterized by springs with temps to 48° C and flows of 15 to 70 litres per second.
...source temperatures up to 89.2° and 103°.
These fluids issue from fractured and faulted carbonate rocks that are part of a deep flow system in layered sedimentary rocks.
And you still dont know where it is! 14:47 😅
What a great adventure to paradise.
It demonstrates the challenge of life as well, how much pain we endure, for a shot of pleasure, is paramount.
2:25 100% would have sent that!! Remember, momentum is your friend in these situations.. New to the channel, are you located in Australia or BC?? Love your cinematic b roll btw!!
Really beautiful place, but please be careful (I am not a expert what so ever in these things) but in germany we also have a lake sort of like this one which is on a inactive volcano and you are not allowed to swim in it, because those bubble coming up aren’t air and you may suffocate, but I dont know if that lake is also on a volcano and when it’s dangerous or not, but I would be careful swimming in the lake…
You should go to new Zealand for mountain biking it's awsome there
There’s volcanic activity there that’s why it’s hot
This was a welcome change! (I watch too many bike videos from too many sources).
Looks like a beautiful adventure! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great video!! Thank you!! You had me worried at the start with the banjo music. On another note, that brush looks totally ride-able! Hahaha! :>)
Heaven on earth
This is so amazing! I hope you do more of this kind of content! Maybe on a different channel?
Highly recommend a good, portable telescoping hiking/walking stick, best regards.
I really enjoyed this video !! Was nice change and you guys are doing awesome !!
To bad you didn’t give the coordinates. I would have subscribed and shared. 🤷🏼♂️
If there were gods, they were assuredly against you the entire trek. Thankfully you told those gods "up yours" in order to persevere. VICTORY!!! 🤪
8:50 hemlock? Maybe a parsnip with those bigger leaves?
500$ to any man who tells me where this is
What an amazing adventure! Thanks for sharing the delicate beauty of such an amazing place. How deep you you guess the main pool was?
What you refer to as tufa might be just simple stalagmites.
Stalagmites are formed from water dripping down from above, usually from a stalactite, and eventually forming a solid column of solid rock.
Tufa is formed by water contain calcium carbonate coming up out of the bottom of a lake and forming a pillar of porous rock.
It would be very helpful and appreciate if you would show a picture of the rock formations you're talking about.
Once most famous tufa formations are in mono Lake just east of Yosemite.
Mono Lake was once much deeper but when water was drained off to use elsewhere the tufa pillars stood tall and proud above the water level.
tufa pillars normally only form under water.
You should really invest in some wheel racks / skids... And a winch.they are both very useful items to have around for many reasons, and don't use much space at all.
Where is it? Canada, U.S.?
How many mes hike??
Canada
I think one could have easily missed the treasures you uncovered on your journey to this special place had it been approached on bicycle. Putting myself in your place, through a wonderfully shot, and narrated video, I felt comfortably insignificant and simultaneously in awe Of the magnitude of the power mostly unscarred primitive places inspire
Now I am not sure how the technology works but it seems someone has to hack into Garmon's Data bank And erase the coordinates.
These springs are some of my favorite places to visit in the PNW. We have so many volcanoes that you can stumble across hidden hot springs that people want to keep secret. There's TONS of those around Mt. Hood here in Oregon. Same can be said around St. Helens.
32c is 90F for the americans out there btw. That water is actually hot, it's not literally freezing temps lol. I always make sure to put conversions on screen so every one knows what we're talking about without having to pause and google what that number actually means to them.
Very few American videos convert measures to metric.
@@fillfreakin2245 Okay? That doesn't invalidate what I said. More people need to use both regardless of if they use metric or not.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon Most people don't need to use both. Only two countries in the world are stuck with archaic units of measurement. 😉😏
@@gedfi Well ain't that just great. Then americans, who happen to be the majority of viewers on youtube, will continue to not translate their unit of measurement for you. See how stupid that is? Just put both on the screen and get off your high horse.
We should all use kilometers. They are shorter than miles so you don't have to hike as far.
Reminds me why we never used to let tourists know where Lussier hot springs was , that place gets packed nowadays. I often wish it was the kind of place you have to earn to get too. the place you guys were at. that is fortunately way off the beaten path and so far north most people would just look at the drive and say nope. there is a hot spring just west of invermere in the purcells i've wanted to find for years that is apparently well past panorama. ive heard about it from elderly folk but have never found it on my journeys. I love how you brought snorkeling gear. to see the bottom of the little lake with the hot water bubbling through the sand looks amazing. a true rare sight. I wish that i could take a time machine back to when my family pioneered in the kootenays. to see the radium and fairmont hot springs before they had pools built. I no longer live back in the kootenays and unfortunately live in the city. I often forget how lucky i am to have grown up being able to enjoy a small handful of locations all within a 40 min driving distance from where i grew up. thank you for taking us on this journey with you guys. I have clicked the subscribe button.
I keep thinking "man, if I was a bear, I'd be chilling in that pool aaaall day long". They do probably hang out there, right?
My friend and I just visited the springs last week. They are something really special and im glad places like this still exist. Those darn beavers though, we were cursing their names the entire time haha.
Any hints on where it is (i will a secret)
I am from BC. I hope I can find this one day.
Pretty sure it's called Deer Lake Hot Springs. My wife is from the area and apparently it's the bears that keep the locals away. Dense underbrush + massive numbers of black bears make northerners nervous. Been a dream of mine to go for 15 years now, but it's a hard no from the wife.
At 2:15, jacking the vehicle, then building a little rock road under it. Fun. Done that in the Cascades, Done that in the Alps, Done that in CA.
That looked like a patch of Hogweed you guys walked thru at one point...
Great adventure, really love it! I would have love to see the way back too ;)
😈😈😈😈 amazing spot ! Don't tell anyone ... 😈😈😈😈
