Chinati Hot Springs is a true oasis - but it takes some planning to get there. The "shortcut" thru Pinto Canyon Road is truly awesome - but it's a dirt road through a true desert canyon, so high-clearance vehicle is a must. If you don't drive a pickup, take the longer route from Marfa through Presidio, then turn right and follow the river to Ruidoso. Also, plan on taking any food or drinks you'll want with you - there is a fantastic communal kitchen and dining area, with lots of fridge space for your things, but no where to buy groceries after you leave Marfa or Presidio. Most of all, be ready for no cell service or interruptions - just enjoy what the desert oasis of Chinati Hot Springs has to offer.
