Tips for Visitors
Plan your visit any time of year, but weekdays typically offer lighter crowds. Bring swimwear, as clothing is required in the pools. Budget for an entry fee, and consider booking overnight accommodations to extend your restorative experience in these renowned hot springs in New Mexico.
