The Village of Jemez Springs is one of New Mexico's most enchanting destinations. Nestled between
stunning red rock mesas--remnants of ancient lava flows over a million years old--the village is named for its
famous mineral hot springs. Fissures in the earth allow water near the surface to contact rock below that is
heated by the magma underneath. The result is a steady supply of hot springs that bubble up throughout the
valley. Jemez Springs is a great place to get away for the weekend, reconnect with nature and enjoy the healing mineral waters.
The Jemez Valley runs from an area just north of the Jemez Pueblo up through to the Valles Caldera preserve

trails, and lovely camp sites. For those looking for more modern comforts there are many places to shop, dine and spend the night.
