It wasn’t a scary ride at all, it was beautiful seeing the towns around in the distance. Mount Graham and Frye Mesa, absolutely beautiful! Well worth the drive up the mountain.

Kachina Mineral Springs Spa

Reviewed By JenniferW867 - Tucson, United States

I’ve never been to a mineral springs place before and was excited to combine a warm soak before and after a one hour massage. The staff are so friendly and helpful with scheduling and check in. Paul was my massage therapist and he impressed me with some new techniques that really helped release tension in my neck and shoulders. I plan to come back sometime with my husband, since I know they haveThe ability to accommodate pears and even groups of people. What a hidden gem in a small town. Not super fancy, as it seems like an older building in business. However, it was a great experience and I would recommend it.
