My understanding is that it is no longer clothing optional. When I
was in Albuquerque this summer, I asked a longtime friend about the
Jemez hot springs, and she told me that the "authorities" have been
cracking down on the skinny dipping.

I used to go up there back in the early 80's, and everyone would be
skinny dipping. We would hike up there through the snow, and disrobe
completely when we got there. We had these little lights which we
would set to floating in the water. Very mellow....
