Five easy outings from Caliente

Guests always ask what there is to do between soaks. Here are our five favorites, all a short drive from the resort.

  1. Kershaw-Ryan State Park, just south of town: picnic in the shade and walk the canyon trails.
  2. Rainbow Canyon: drive south along Meadow Valley Wash between red and white cliffs.
  3. Cathedral Gorge State Park, near Panaca: wander among clay spires and narrow slot canyons.
  4. The 1923 railroad depot in the middle of Caliente.
  5. Stargazing: on a clear moonless night the Milky Way is right overhead.

Ask the front desk for a picnic lunch from the Canyon Café.
