About Big Bend Hot Springs
A legendary soak on the banks of the Rio Grande at the Mexican border inside Big Bend National Park, where 105°F geothermal water fills a stone-walled pool overlooking the river and the dramatic limestone cliffs of Santa Elena Canyon. Soaking at dawn as the desert canyon walls glow orange is one of the most memorable experiences in the National Park system. Park entry fee required, and the springs are a short walk from the Rio Grande Village campground.
