Soda Dam is not actually in Albuquerque. It’s located up in Jemez Springs which is about 60 miles north of Albuquerque. Definitely worth the short drive.

Here is some interesting information on Soda Dam Hot Springs! The rock formations surrounding the Dam are amazing and this photo doesn’t really do it justice.

Although an amazing creation of nature, Soda Dam is stinky. It smells like rotten eggs and I am not quite sure how people swim in this water. I would imagine that all the minerals and such make it very good for you. I just can’t get past the stinky-ness!
