New Mexico Hot Springs and Mineral Baths

The following is a list that our friends at Faywood Hot Springs have put together of both natural wilderness and developed geothermal assets in NM. 

New Mexico has an abundance of Hot Springs that span the gamut from long hikes in the wilderness to luxurious spas. Sometimes this is an overlooked tourism resource that brings many out of state visitors to NM that are specifically looking for natural hot mineral water.

New Mexico is blessed with some of the finest hot springs on the planet Earth. There are beautiful springs at the end of a long hike in the wilderness, lovely gems that are only a short hike, and resorts that run the gamut from rustic to luxurious.
