Parks Canada says Miette Hot Springs, a popular feature of Jasper National Park, has reopened as crews continue to fight a wildfire that’s keeping the rest of the park closed.

Parks Canada issued a statement saying the springs, as well as the Source of the Springs Trail, were reopening to visitors on Sunday following a lengthy closure due to the Utopia Wildfire and the Jasper Wildfire Complex.
