The Healing Waters Trail is a 3-mile loop through the historic healing waters district in Truth or Consequences, NM. Envision a trail that...
..celebrates the ancient healing traditions of the hot mineral springs, connects us to nat

ive and migratory birds and wildlife along the Rio Grande, and brings us to a park for quiet reflection of those who have served our country.
..weaves together a multitude of historic, cultural, artistic and natural elements into a unique tapestry.
..offers numerous amenities for residents and visitors alike, including:

• Enhanced quality of life.
• Relaxation for body, mind and spirit in the hot mineral waters of restored bathhouses.
• Enjoyment of public art of the WPA era and present time.
• A healthy place to bike, walk, jog and play.
• Access to the river for fishing, boating and bird-watching.
• A step back to the times of the pit dwellers, the Apaches, the dam builders, and the natural healers who shaped this place.
• A stroll past buildings and homes listed on the National Historic Register.
• A replica of the Vietnam Healing Wall for quiet meditation. In January 2008, a group of local citizens representing broad interests in Truth or Consequences began to make this vision of a Healing Waters Trail a reality. The project has received support from the City of Truth or Consequences, the New Mexico Soil and Water Conservation District, and the National Park Service, and it continues to gain momentum as more local residents offer their ideas and suggestions.

During my 2015 Thanksgiving vacation trip to visit family in Truth or Consequences, N.M., I took a hike on the Carrie Tinley Hill portion of the Healing Waters Trail. I had planned to take my dog, Buster, with me, but unfortunately, he died a few weeks before the trip. He would have loved it. Maybe…

The Healing Waters Trail is one of the best places to walk your furry friend- especially early in the morning! It is best to avoid taking a hike during the heat of the day as the ground might be too hot for their paws. Please dispose of dog waste and keep your pet on a leash at all times.

HEALING WATERS TRAIL MAKING PROGRESS

Work continues on the completion of the Healing Waters Trail. This week City of T or C crews completed the installation of seven interpretive panels and additional directional signs on portions of the Healing Waters Trail. The seven panels are strategically placed along the 1.2 miles of the trail between the trailhead at the Veteran’s Memorial Park and the Rotary Park/wetland trailhead. The panels highlight important historical and landscape aspects of Sierra County. Come check it out!
