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, 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
- Drive as close as you can to the hot springs.
- I saw an unlifted Tacoma and 4Runner make it there no problem.
- I took my van to the first water crossing after the large camping area. After that I did not want to risk anymore since my runner boards hang low. (TBD, -TBD)
Reception
- AT&T worked great and had LTE.
- T-Mobile had cell reception but no LTE/data.
