Gila Yoga and Hot Springs

From tall ponderosa to golden desert to high mountain peaks, the Gila National Forest in Southern New Mexico offers a veritable smorgasbord of natural wonders.  One of the area's strongest attractions seems unlikely in the Gila's arid climate:  hot water direct from the earth.  Hot springs dot the area, offering soaking opportunities for visitors of every inclination.  Although some springs are commercially developed, many within the bounds of the National Forest offer opportunities for wilderness soaking. Our trip will let you experience both settings. We will begin each day with Yoga, site see and enjoy some hiking, visit hot springs, and wrapping up with some Yoga in the evening. In addition, the nature of this trip allows opportunity for some fantastic Dutch Oven meals. If you are looking for a relaxing Fall Break with a little adventure mixed in, grab your bathing suit and camera for this restorative trip.
