Inspiration: The springs at Ojo Caliente, north of Santa Fe, are
known for their rejuvenating hot waters, and local tradition says swimming in the pools of water will allow you passage to the underworld. Currently the site of a resort and spa, visitors can also hike or bike trails in the area to explore the local rock cliffs before soaking tired legs in the mineral waters of the pools heated by subterranean activity.
