## At a Glance
|
||||
|
||||
- Lesser known hot springs in an infrequented region of Arizona.
|
||||
- Beautiful canyon with riparian flora all along the meandering creek.
|
||||
- Camping can be difficult to access and noisy. Weekends not recommended due to drunks.
|
||||
- Camping can be difficult to access and noisy, especially on weekends.

## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
This was one of the most beautiful canyons I have ever explored. There's good hiking, unique hot springs, and likely climbing as I did some "bouldering" in some areas just for fun.
|
||||
|
||||
The industrial quality of the initial creek area is slightly off-putting, expecially with the machinery noise, and the amount of dogs was slightly alarming, but they posed no danger and none of it was a concern once I made my way further down the road.
|
||||
|
||||
I definitely plan to visit again, especially when spending time in eastern New Mexico chasing other hot springs.

### Caveats
|
||||
|
||||
- Pump station is loud if choosing to camp before any water crossings.
|
||||
- Lots of dog noise from nearby properties, day and night, echoing though the campgrounds.
|
||||
- Driving through the creek can be deep in some spots, but high clearance vehicles should be fine.
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommendations
|
||||
### Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
- Drive as close as you can to the hot springs.
|
||||
- I saw an unlifted Tacoma and 4Runner make it there no problem.
|
||||
- My van made it to the first water crossing after the large campground. After that I did not want to risk anymore since my runner boards hang low. (TBD, -TBD)
