There are plenty of ways to recharge after a day outside. Maybe your idea of self-care is soaking in a lake, stretching out in a yoga class or treating tired legs to a well-earned massage. Or perhaps it’s an afternoon at the gym, a Pilates session, acupuncture, a fresh haircut or simply slowing down with a good cup of coffee. Whatever helps you feel your best, you’ll find welcoming wellness practitioners and local businesses ready to help you recover, reset and get back out there for tomorrow’s adventure.

Ainsworth Hot Springs is located just outside of Nelson BC. It is a scenic drive away with warm, mineral-rich waters that are perfect for melting away sore muscles, soaking up the views, and pretending the cold river plunge never happened.
The South Kootenay may not be a spa destination, but it knows a thing or two about recovery. Soothe tired muscles with a professional massage from one of the region’s skilled independent practitioners or simply take a little time to recharge after a day on the trails. Appointments fill up quickly—especially during busy weekends and events—so booking ahead is always a good idea.
Healthy eating is part of the culture in the South Kootenays, so there is no shortage of options. Start the morning with a good breakfast, grab something fresh to take along for the day, refuel after a ride or hike, then settle in for dinner and après. Pick up local ingredients and picnic supplies at farmers markets, grocery stores and local shops, or find something nourishing at one of the region’s cafés and restaurants. From first coffee to last call, there are plenty of healthy ways to fuel your adventures—and enjoy the food along the way.
