n Texas, many secret places long thought forgotten to the pages of history lie open and

waiting for the curious, the ambitious and, often times, the adventurous. These unique venues not only invite visitors with their breathtaking landscapes and wealth of amenities, but also with elements significantly less tangible. Beyond the modern luxuries, the native Indian folktales weave a greater magic, a sense that the spirit of the land—and the window to history itself— still survives. Stories passed down through generations of historic battles and magic healing waters stir the imagination, invoke a sense of adventure and welcome all who find their way to Indian Hot Springs Ranch.

Sited in between Ft. Davis and El Paso, just a short distance from the world-famous waters of the fabulous Rio Grande, the Indian Hot Springs Ranch is a ranch without equal. Nestled in a small valley formed by the Rio Grande’s cut through the Quitman Mountains in Hudspeth County, the ranch is rich in history, easily accessible and almost completely surrounded by the majestic mountain range. This prime mountainside locale offers a combination of serene and restful beauty in an invigorating, smog-free valley of the Rio Grande, remote from the hustle and bustle of big-city pollution—a perfect place to call home.

From behind the Indian Hot Springs Hotel, the mountains of Mexico rise from the horizon in a stunning natural backdrop mirrored in the natural native elements showcased through the

handcrafted

architecture.

Originally

constructed in the 1920s and partially restored in recent years, the masonry hotel is within a stone’s throw of the Rio Grande and once connected to the small quaint Mexican village of Ojo Caliente on the Mexican side of the river via a swinging bridge. Electricity is provided by Rio Grande Electric Coop and Dell Telephone currently serves the ranch with fiber optic cable buried and ready to be powered. In addition to the two homes, the ranch also affords two

For centuries, Indian warriors came to recover from their battles and rest up from their forays across both sides of the border.

Centuries later, many visitors over the years have written testaments to the hot springs’ soothing, calming and even healing effects while they were guests at the ranch.
