This is right off the main road. Very photogenic. Worth a little drive out of the way since the scenery in the entire area is enjoyable.
Interesting rock formations right on the road - easy access! You can climb around the area for an up close view.
Our son lived in Albuquerque for five years and my wife and I visited him and toured the area quite a few times while he lived there. We really enjoy Jemez Springs and the surrounding area and whenever we visit, we stop at the Soda Dam. Why not- it’s right on the main road to Jemez Springs, there’s no charge, and it’s a neat spot to visit. Only note of caution- be careful crossing the road if you park across the road. I checked the other reviews of Soda Dam and really can’t add too much except my recommendation to stop and see it- spend a little time walking/hiking around and enjoying the water. Be sure to crawl up to the cave area.
This was a nice, unplanned stop. My boys had a great time climbing on and crossing over the bridge formation. There are little cave like features where they crawled into and climbed on. The stream is beautiful and it's very pretty and peaceful. It is worth the stop.
It's an interesting geological feature, and certainly worth a stop and walk around a bit. I have a feeling that in the summer it would be a great spot to take a dip.
Crawl up into little cave and see where spring comes out, looks like fish scales where minerals have deposited.
Strong sulfur smell but the falls through the rocks are impressive. Be careful trying to climb up for a better view, slippery.
It was a great place to see and well worth pulling over to investigate. We enjoyed every inch of the Jemez Mountains and Scenic Byway.
Very cool formation! Stop and take a good look around. Little hot spring at side of road - didn't soak there though :)
This is worth a stop--especially since you're going to be looking at it anyway as you drive by & it's much safer to stop! This is a land bridge created over a great deal of time by a natural soda spring.
