Consisting of two natural pools, Spence Hot Spring is located in the Santa Fe National Forest next to a gorgeous, tree-filled canyon. With an average temperature of 95 °F, the pools aren't as hot as some of the others in the area, but they still provide an excellent opportunity to relax and unwind while surrounded by the beauty of nature. Because of the pools' small size, the parking lot can only accommodate up to seven vehicles, although overflow parking can be found at the Dark Canyon Fishing Access if needed. The springs are open all throughout the year, but overnight camping is not permitted.
