This is
land that has a human history that is traced
back in time more than four hundred years. In
the 17th century, it was, as it is now, a place
to stop, rejuvenate, breathe – a resting place
or paraje. Adobe buildings that shielded early
travelers from the hot desert sun then now
serve as the Blue Heron Restaurant and the Spa
Samadhi.
Walking though the grounds one is stopped by the unexpected sound of water, the flap of Prayer flags, the call of the birds and the song of the wind. The ground is seemingly left to the grasses, weeds, trees and flowers that grow there.
A stone fountain stands as a reminder of the springs for which this place is named. The flow is captured, contained to burble up and out, again finding its freedom as it escapes skyward only to cascade over rough rock before it falls back to earth.
Elsewhere, age old trees reach out over ponds, wooden foot paths lead a journey over marshy spring-fed pools; there are resting places – benches placed beneath a tree branch, a chair left next to the pond, the semi-circle of stone benches that wait patiently for participants in the Peace Lodge to finish their spiritual journey.

Springs Spa is a seventy (70) acre oasis that
radiates calm.
The red rock sand and dust is a constant reminder that we are, indeed, in New Mexico’s desert country. We stand upon the rich soil that is the meeting place of the Rio Grande Basin and La Cienega Valley.
The Sangre de Cristo Mountains can be seen from the resort grounds that include two spring-fed ponds, walking paths and a very special Japanese Tea Garden amongst its many treasures.
