## About Hot Springs (Big Bend National Park)

Hot Springs in Big Bend National Park is a former thermal resort, now National Park Service land, reached by car along Hot Springs Road. Access is open. The record carries no temperature for this site, so it cannot tell you how hot the water runs; the name and the resort history tell you people once bathed in it. Sanderson is the nearest town on record and it is 76 miles away, which says something about how remote this corner of the park is.

Hot Springs Road ends a few hundred feet from the spring, so this is a roadside stop by the record's classification. Low desert, very dry, around seven inches of rain in a year and essentially no snow. The Rio Grande Village Group Campground is about two and a half miles away.

The site went by Boquillas Hot Springs and Langford Hot Springs as well, and it operated as a thermal spring resort before the land became part of Big Bend National Park. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

No best months are on file. Access is open inside the national park, and park entrance rules apply. Rio Grande Village has a group campground two and a half miles off. Since the record gives no temperature here, check the water before settling in. There is no chemistry on file.
