Chinati Hot Springs, Natural hot spring in Ruidosa, Texas, US
Chinati Hot Springs is a natural hot spring in the Texas desert with multiple outdoor and indoor soaking pools. The mineral-rich waters maintain temperatures between 104 and 109 degrees Fahrenheit (40 to 43 degrees Celsius).
Native American tribes used these natural springs for healing purposes centuries before European settlers found them in the Chihuahuan Desert. The site went through different private ownership before becoming what it is today.
The hot springs draw visitors seeking natural mineral waters and wellness experiences in a remote setting.
There are no shops on site, and the nearest town is about one hour away, so bring food and supplies with you. A vehicle suitable for rough terrain is recommended, and lodging options are limited.
The property spans 640 acres of desert terrain without cellular service or internet connection. This complete disconnection from technology is one of the defining features of the place.
