How We Got the Name


Welcome to Our City's Website!

Truth or Consequences is one of those cities that you just have to see for yourself to appreciate it. The desert's natural beauty, contrasted by the gentleness of the Rio Grande river, makes living in T. or C. a spiritual experience.

Nestled between Las Cruces and Albuquerque on Interstate 25, Truth or Consequences is renowned for its year-round wonderful climate, recreational facilities, and the mineral waters.

The hot days of July are tempered by the cooling nights. Our extremely gentle winters make us a haven for the folks that we like to call "snowbirds". If you are here in either the autumn or spring, its like finding a little piece of paradise. And if you think the stars come out in Hollywood, you should see the heavens here at night.

Nearby Elephant Butte and Caballo lakes offer boating, fishing, water-skiing and great camping opportunities. There are mountain biking trails nearby that will challenge all. The hiking in the surrounding mountains is rugged. Some of the best hunting and fishing guides in the Southwest make their home in and around Truth or Consequences area. The historical mining ghost towns close by provide pleasant hunting for "rock hounds" and history buffs.

The Chiricahua Apache leader Geronimo frequented this area for the soothing relief found in the mineral waters.. Today, folks from all over this great nation visit the many mineralbath houses and spas for our geothermal baths.

Truth or Consequences has a strong sense of tradition, with our eyes on the needs of the future. The leaders and workers within the City's government understand those needs and work together to provide them. With the selection of our area to host Spaceport America, our government and local leaders are teaming up to initialize the next "giant leap for mankind."

We cherish the values that made this nation great and honor those men and women that sacrificed their lives in service to this country.
