5 October 1999: Department of Highways "Canyon Hot Springs" signs apparently refer to the locality rather than the hotspring(s). To be investigated.
Reviewed and confirmed 31 August 2013: the name "Canyon Hot Springs" refers to the locality - the hotsprings are well-known as Albert Canyon Hot Spring (singular).
