Jordan Hot Springs

Jordan Hot Springs is a remote geothermal spring system located deep within the Gila Wilderness in southwestern New Mexico, accessible only by a challenging multi-mile hike through the canyons carved by the West Fork of the Gila River. The bicarbonate-rich waters emerge at comfortable soaking temperatures and pool naturally among the riverside rocks, creating a series of idyllic bathing spots in one of America's most beautiful wilderness areas. The Gila Wilderness, established in 1924 as the world's first designated wilderness area, surrounds the springs with ancient cliff dwellings, towering ponderosa pines, and extraordinary desert canyon scenery. The demanding access ensures that Jordan Hot Springs rewards only those who make the effort with a truly wild and unspoiled thermal experience.
