Truth or Consequences boasts some of the most fabulous hot springs around, with 10 spa facilities right in town. Originally named Hot Springs, the city changed its name to Truth or Consequences, the title of a popular NBC Radio program. In 1950, Ralph Edwards, the host of the radio quiz show Truth or Consequences, announced that he would air the program from the town that renamed itself after the show; Hot Springs won the honor. Edwards visited the town during the first weekend of May for the next 50 years. This event was called 'Fiesta' and included a beauty contest, a parade, and a stage show. The city still celebrates Fiesta each year during the first weekend of May. The parade generally features area celebrities such as the Hatch Chile Queen. Fiesta also features a dance in Ralph Edwards Park. The Rio Grande runs right through town and in the summer, you can float the river on an inner tube or small raft to cool off. When the weather is a bit cooler, Turtleback Mountain offers a medium-difficulty hike and some spectacular views all the way to Elephant Butte Lake to the north and beyond. A car is recommended. The nearest airports are the Albuquerque Sunport (2 hour drive). El Paso airport (2 hour drive). This casita is part of an historic group of buildings in the heart of downtown that at one time consisted of 13 units. We are in the process of renovating the units to become 6 luxurious homes-away-from-home.
