About Frieborn Canyon Spring

Frieborn Canyon Spring invites you to immerse yourself in its warm 92°F waters tucked away in New Mexico’s rugged landscape. This primitive spring offers a quiet, natural soak surrounded by wild canyon scenery, where the gentle warmth soothes tired muscles after a day of adventure.

Getting There

Reaching Frieborn Canyon Spring requires a moderate hike through uneven terrain, so sturdy boots and a sense of adventure are essential. There is no developed parking lot; you’ll likely park along a nearby dirt road before trekking a short distance to the spring itself.

What to Expect

The spring pools are small and inviting, with crystal-clear water gently bubbling up from the earth. You’ll find a peaceful ambiance enhanced by the sounds of canyon birds and flowing water, though facilities are non-existent, so bring everything you need for comfort and safety.

Tips for Visitors

Plan your visit during weekdays or early mornings to avoid encountering other visitors, as the limited space can feel crowded on weekends. Carry plenty of water, insect repellent, and a towel, and respect Leave No Trace principles since this is a primitive site without fees or official management.
