Spence Hot Spring is a half mile hike from a small 7 car parking area 5 miles north of Jemez Ranger District Office. The trail includes some rocks and is often muddy/slippery.
The popular spring includes a small pool that accomodates about 10 people. The spring maintains a constant 95 F temperature in the tiny cave, about 88F and 84F in the upper and lower pools outside.
No glass containers, camping or campfires are permitted along the trail and at the spring. Nudity will occasionally be cited by rangers. Please be considerate of the hot spring and surrounding area. The water quality is not monitored so there are possible health hazards. Avoid getting water in the nose to minimize a risk of potentially fatal parasitic amoeba called Naegleria Fowleri, common in warm springs.
