The world runs faster every year. There is one thing it can't speed up: the way still, warm, mineral water quiets a body. For a hundred years, people have crossed the desert to find it here, where two aquifers, one hot and one cold, rise beneath the sand of Miracle Hill. You don't come here to see something. You come to feel like yourself again.

Explore the desert

A miracle worth crossing the desert for.

It's the legend of Cabot's “Miracle Hill” that first drew people to this water, the hot and cold aquifers rising within a mile of Cabot's Springs. Down the hill, Al Capone built his West Coast hideout; Frank Sinatra was a desert regular. In 1979, Michael Bickford staked his claim to the water, and his family has kept it flowing ever since.

From the analysis of these waters, I have not found any comparable in any country I have explored… It would appear to have qualities far superior to any waters known to me.
