Hot Springs Near Cochise

Hiya,

A couple friends and I are heading to Cochise for the first time next weekend. (!!!) Can anyone recommend any hot springs near Cochise or between Cochise & Phoenix? (My friends are flying out of Sky Harbour) I've checked out the hot springs in Safford, but it looks like that would add 2 hours to the drive time. On a scale from rustic to resort, we prefer rustic, but we don't have enough time (this trip) to backpack in to hot springs. Any suggestions will be much obliged.

Kittens,
Stella.

Start with a good google search.

Looks like Hookers Hot Springs East of Tucson might be an option. Only for guests though.

Buckhorn in Mesa is developed but on the way.

This link lists them all by temp and gives you GPS coordinates...

Thanks for the beta. To visit Hookers, you have to be a guest at the nature conservancy. I've spent some time scouring the webs, and was hoping for personal experience or suggestions. Any takers?

Well if you take the 60 out of Phoenix through Globe and then jump on the 70, that will take you by Indian Hot Springs just outside of Eden... I haven't been there myself yet but I have heard good things other than they can get busy on the weekend.

Rad suggestion! The place looks gorgeous. But alas, it is only open for retreats. Bummer.

You just need to stay north near Flag and go to Verde Hot Springs.
