San Antonio Hot Springs has natural hot water coming out of several sources of the hillsides. There are a few soaking pools made of primitive rock circles, each with a different temperature. There is a shorter trail that is only 0.7 miles out and back from Lake Forest Drive, but the road to get there can be closed in the winter.

The Lower Water Canyon Trail is part of an extensive network of running, hiking, and mountain biking trails near White Rock, New Mexico, a small community outside of Los Alamos. This trail traverses the southern rim of the mesa and offers great views over the open desert. You can connect this trail with many others in the area to make many different length running loops in this unique area. The Lower Water Canyon Trail is slightly harder than the others in the area as you run over basalt, tuff, and loose gravel.

The trail passes by large panels of petroglyphs (carved pictures), that are thought to be hundreds of years old. Although their exact meaning is unknown, they are most likely not a type of written language, but rather held deep spiritual and artistic significance to ancient (and modern) indigenous people. There are many petroglyphs in this area, so be sure to take your time to try to find all of them - many of them blend in with their surroundings! Like in most archeological sites, please do not touch these ancient carvings.

The cavetes are located just below the ancient central village plaza in the cliff bands that make up the mesa. These cavates (human excavated cavities) were places where people could take shelter from the elements; the thick stone walls provided insulation from both the cold of winter and heat of summer. Talus pueblos were also most-likely constructed in front of the entrance to the cavates to further protect people from wind, rain, snow, and perhaps most importantly in the desert, heat. Please only enter cavetes that are immediately adjacent to the trail - the other cavets are dangerous to access.

Running the San Antonio Creek Trail is a great alternative and a nice way to see the beauty of the local forests.

This spot is known as the North Bench Overlook and is a great spot to include as part of the larger Rendija Crack Loop, the Bayo Benches Loop, or as a destination in and of itself. From this overlook on the North Bayo Bench Trail, you get great views of the orange-walled Bayo Canyon, Barranca Mesa, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
