The Dripping Springs Area is about 1 1/2 miles from the Visitor's Center. You hike first to the old coach stop, or Livery site. Then on to the Van Patten Mountain Resort Camp ruins, the Dripping Springs, and finally the ruins of Dr. Boyd's Tuberculosis Sanitorium. All are at the foot of the Organ Mountains. As of June, 1998, all are in the process of being restored.
