Montezuma Hot Springs, nestled in a canyon near the historic Montezuma Castle, have been a destination for relaxation and healing for centuries. The springs flow from the earth at temperatures around 120°F, cooling in a series of stone-lined pools. Visitors can soak in the mineral-rich waters while enjoying views of the Gallinas River and surrounding forest. The historic bathhouses, built in the late 1800s, add a touch of nostalgia. The site is free and open to the public, though facilities are rustic.
Don't miss
- Soak in the natural stone pools, each at a different temperature as the water cools.
- Explore the historic bathhouse ruins and imagine the resort era of the late 1800s.
- Enjoy a picnic by the Gallinas River after your soak, surrounded by pine and juniper trees.
