Know before you go

A free, primitive hillside hot spring above the Jemez River, ~10 min uphill from a Highway 4 pullout in the Santa Fe NF. Long a customary clothing-optional soak.

☀︎ First-timer tip: Beautiful canyon views from the pools. Go on a weekday morning for solitude — weekends get busy and the vibe shifts.
