Located about four miles upriver from Boquillas Canyon at the point where the Tornillo Creek flows into the Rio Grande River, the Boquillas Hot Springs are a set of geothermal hot springs along the big bend of the Rio Grande River that are 105 degrees year-round. You can reach the Boquillas Hot Springs by a trailhead from the parking lot off Hot Springs Road, which runs for about half a mile and is relatively flat and smooth. There are ancient pictographs of the walls along the trailhead to the hot springs, which offer a refreshing respite from the hot and sweaty hike. Dogs are allowed on this trail but must be kept on a leash.
