Best time to soak in New Mexico
Winter
Peak soaking season, but forest roads close and chains may be required.
Spring
Snowmelt can raise creek levels and cool or flood primitive pools.
Summer
All roads open; hot pools feel less appealing midday, so go early or late.
Fall
The sweet spot — open access, cool air, thin crowds.
