Editor’s picks

Editor's picks from the New Mexico cluster — Ojo dominates the resort list, then the Jemez wild trio:

  • Ojo Caliente day pass — the four-mineral resort between Taos and Santa Fe — $75 day pass, 11 pools, strict no-phone deck, continuously operating since 1868.
  • San Antonio Hot Springs — the high-elevation Jemez wild soak — 5-mile round-trip on FR-376 (closed in winter).
  • Spence Hot Springs — the easier Jemez option — half-mile path to terraced creekside pools.
