On our trip to New Mexico a couple of days ago, Papa and I stayed overnight at the Sierra Grande Lodge and Spa in Truth or Consequences. I stayed there a year ago, on a trip with Mary. Upon arrival, the receptionist asked to schedule time in their private geothermal pools. We were ready within fifteen minutes after our arrival, and relaxed in the 107° mineral water. Ahhhhh!
The Sierra Grande was built in 1929 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It had the first bathhouse in Hot Springs, NM, which later changed it's name to Truth or Consequences. From National Geographic Traveler, "Landmark 1929 adobe lodge atop mineral waters, surrounded by
salamander-speckled cactus, succulents, and desert willows.
Cowboy and Native American art panels adorn sunlit rooms fashioned
to soothe. Alfresco geothermal
hot spring tubs, mineral pools and spa treatments." Sierra Grande Lodge is a find!
