Ojo Caliente Hiking Trailhead — Attraction in New Mexico

The Posi Pueblo Ruins trail starts off from the back of the Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs resort property. Just follow the paved sidewalk between the Artesian restaurant and the front desk building- the sidewalk will become a dirt trail. The trail starts out steep with loose gravel to get you up the hillside, and then the trail on top of the Mesa is easy and flat. Watch for cacti- wear proper boots and bring hiking poles if you need help getting up or down the hillside. There are broken pottery pieces in many places- ie the ‘ruins’. The views from on top are wonderful, you can see the surrounding mountains and valley, as well as an aerial perspective of the Ojo Caliente resort. Bring water. Can be windy up there, and no shade. If you are staying at Ojo, it’s definitely worth the time, and reward yourself...
