Gila Valley · Safford, AZ
A family-owned spa since 1993 offering private indoor hot-mineral soaking tubs and an outdoor mineral pond between Roper Lake and Mt. Graham. Pair a soak with massage, sauna or body treatments; appointments recommended.
For day-use admission, popular resorts sell out on weekends — if the official site offers reservations, book ahead. Weekday visits are usually easier as walk-ins.
