Looking to start your ‘relaxing’ trip to Harrison as soon as you get on the road? or looking for alternative route in and out of the valley. Did you know Highway 7, the Lougheed Hwy is dubbed the ‘Scenic 7′? and it takes you to Harrison Hot Springs. With a new website just launched why not check out this route the next time you are travelling the valley. And enjoy the scenery and great communities along the way. www.scenic7bc.com
