Just under 6,000 feet, dry, light snow and moderate rain. The road is unnamed on file yet passes within a few steps. No campground is listed nearby. Public ground under the Bureau of Land Management, Las Cruces District. Nothing on file describes the outlet or any pool.

Winter rates best. The sample on file is from April 1940, showing moderate dissolved solids. Eighty-plus years is a long time, so treat both chemistry and temperature as historic. Free, open, roadside. Nothing says there is a pool. Truth or Consequences is the closest town on file.
