Just outside of Las Vegas NM we came upon a string of rock pools where hot springs spill into the river.   It was all once part of a resort but the area is now maintained by locals and free for all to enjoy.  We have seen similar pools in Colorado but this time we actually found one of them un-occupied and just the right temperature.  We tried a soak.  One has to be tolerant of a little moss but if you are ok with that, it feels great.  Oh, there is no where to change clothes except in the surrounding brush since the changing room is now locked up.  That’s a bit awkward but doable.  We hung out for an hour or so.  It felt wonderful.  The original resort, now called Montezuma Castle, is part of United World College and still stands on a hill high above the springs.  They give tours sometimes.
