Taweh Creek Hot Springs

Small warm pools, about eight warm and hot springs, and tufa deposits line both sides of upper Sezill Creek for a distance of around 700m (2300ft.) One of the two hottest vents (46C or 115F) and the most extensive tufa deposits lay with a couple metres of the creek on the north bank. One tufa mound topped by a small pool fed by a jet of carbonated water at 43C (109F) forms a natural jacuzzi, the most interesting feature in the area. A second vent at closer to 46C (115F) can also be found on the south side of Sezill Creek, about 100m (330ft.) downstream from the jacuzzi.

The multicoloured tufa in shades of orange, brown, grey, and white offer an amazing view, especially paired with the surrounding meadows in full bloom. All these springs feature water that is high in dissolved minerals such as sodium, calcium, bicarbonate, and silica, combining into a pronounced soda-mineral taste, despite being fully odourless.

Sezill Creek is the first large tributary of Taweh Creek, but is unnamed on the topographic map. The springs are between UTM grids 938947 and around 7km (4 miles) up Sezill Creek from its junction with Taweh Creek, covered by NTS map 104G/10. Sezill roughly translates to "it is hot" in the Tahltan language, though the name was given not by the Tahltan people but by Jack Souther, a studying geologist who worked throughout the area in the 1960s and 1970s.
