We had two days in Radium and we spent the better part of both of them in the park. I’m so glad we had time to explore it! Of course we went to the hot springs, but we also hiked quite a bit. We did the Juniper Trail which took about 2 hours - it is marked as a green (easy) trail but there is quite a bit of elevation. I had to rest lots (just an FYI if you have heart or mobility issues). We started at the first parking lot past the gate and then walked back along the highway. Coming back that way you go through the two mountains so that the cliffs are nearly overhead and then have a fantastic view of the river. We also did the Restoration Trail outside of the Redstreak Campground which is an easy 20 minute loop with signs about the way fires are supposed to work in forests and how they are trying to restore the natural forests now after years of prematurely putting out fires instead of letting the dead stuff burn. That was really interesting. Wear bug spray! Finally we did the Paint Pots trail. We did not go all the way to Marble Canyon because of the grizzly bear warning but Paint Pots itself is really amazing. The earth is rich in iron so it’s very red and the water is quite beautiful. There are many more stops along the way so well worth spending the time!

Short, very easy walk with a beautiful lake to look at. The color of the lake is absolutely stunning. Won't take more than 10 minutes to walk the whole thing.
