   Hi Daniel,

   I am living in Nelson, B.C.. I lived in Idaho for 14 years and yearn to dip into the waters
   again! I have two girls that I wish to travel with (driving) from Nelson south to Boise to
   visit family. I would like to make our 15 hour drive a slow “hot springs tour”. If we were
   only to visit, at the most, 5 different hot springs, can you recommend some on route
   that you find the most enjoyable with an 8 and 5 year old (basically that means no hiking).

   I thank you if this finds you and you respond,
   Ami

   Bonneville By Lowman, Idaho is a good one, just a short 1/3 mile hike into the springs. It has a $5.00 per day parking fee and the parking is in a developed campground.
