Loading ...armand hammer, among his many activities founded “united world college” in montezuma, new mexico. i don’t know much about the college, but i’m told it’s kind of lefty-internationalist. what i do know is that on its grounds are some hot springs (the college uses buildings that were a pre-WWI hot spring/health resort). the students maintain the facilities which are free and open to the public.
i’ve been in this one. it’s hot! about 108-110 farenheit! there are several others with more moderate temps. if you are in northeast new mexico, it’s well worth the side trip. about 15 minutes off interstate 25, take the las vegas exit and ask for hot springs boulevard (new mex. state road 65). the springs are marked by a sign “hot baths” on the side of the road.
