SERS - Soaking in the Hot Springs
San Antonio Hot Springs One of the nicest set of hot springs in the Jemez Mountains are the San AntonioHot Springs. Unlike most other hot springs in the area, these tend not to becrowded and also are cleaner from the constant influx of water. Off the beatenpath, these springs are located a short hike up the side of a mountain fromwhich great views of the stars can be had. In fact, making the hike under afull moon with no flash lights is a worthwhile experience. Take S.R. 126 intothe Jemez to Forest Service Road 376. From here it's a bumpy dirt road buteasy for any vehicle. Attire is optional.

Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad in Chama, N.M., is a 64-mile narrow gauge railroad system and is the most authentic steam era railroad in North America. It is jointly owned by the states of Colorado and New Mexico and runs between Antonito, Colo., and Chama, N.M. Sandia principal investigators are Ted Borek and Don Susan.
