McCauley Hot Springs is a natural geothermal site in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, within the Santa Fe National Forest, where hot spring water emerges from the earth and flows down a hillside into a series of natural rock pools accessible by a short hike through pine forest. The springs are situated within the ancient Valles Caldera volcanic system, one of North America's most significant supervolcanic formations, and offer an atmospheric combination of geothermal bathing and volcanic landscape exploration. The surrounding Jemez Mountains, sacred to the Pueblo peoples who have lived in this volcanic landscape for centuries, provide exceptional hiking, canyon exploration, and cultural heritage tourism to complement the thermal bathing experience.
