Taos Hot Springs

Travelers may want to visit either one or both of the two Taos hot springs (Manby and Black Rock) during their stay at Hotel La Fonda de Taos. The water temperature at these scenic spots tends to hover around 97°F, making them ideal locations for a relaxing soak, as long as you don’t mind company.

The Taos hot springs are located just north of town on the Rio Grande River, near Arroyo Hondo. It takes about 30 minutes to get to either spot from our hotel.

Unfortunately, the required hikes to the springs can be quite challenging. Sturdy footwear, a printed map, and a flashlight are sure to come in handy if you’re headed out to either site. Trips to Manby Hot Springs additionally require driving over rough roads, which means that a high-clearance vehicle will also be useful.

Travelers should be aware that these hot springs are rustic in nature and are open to the public 24/7. Clothing is likewise considered optional at both places.

Admission is FREE, making these spots popular with locals and travelers alike. This can occasionally pose a problem because the Taos hot springs are small and prone to overcrowding at peak times. On the other hand, this typically isn’t a major issue.

However, if you’re looking for a more luxurious experience, you may instead want to consider visiting the Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs. It’s about an hour away from the hotel.
