![]() I've been passing through Espanola for years, up to three times a week, and have never, not once, seen anything more criminally frightening than just really bad driving. However, also as mentioned here, the large majority of that crime is against and among locals involving the drug trade (a terrible problem in Rio Arriba County, where Espanola is) and is all but invisible to travelers passing through. Note that Espanola, the town, has a nasty, and well documented, reputation for crime that appears from time to time in TA forums like this one. There is no direct route from Santa Fe to the springs, but a single change in Espanola gets you there. See their web page,, for route descriptions. The North Central Regional Transit District, known universally here as the "blue bus," has routes to some astoundingly out-of-the-way places, and the Ojo Caliente hot springs is one of them. Remarkably, there is public transit to get to the springs, although I have not done it myself. Given that they are decently reliable, you might call them. I have no experience with this service for getting to Ojo, but they're generally reliable and helpful for getting from ABQ to Santa Fe. ![]() I see from the spa's web site ( ) that the Roadrunner Shuttle outfit can take travelers there from Albuquerque - theoretically. Most of it (alas, not the first ten miles, which will drive you nuts) is on rather lightly traveled roads, just the kind of thing you plan to drive yourself on in New Mexico. ![]() The hot springs, where I presume you are staying, are some distance beyond that. Ojo Caliente is a little tiny town about 40 miles from downtown Santa Fe. I assume from your description that you'd rather not drive, which is the best way, to be honest.
