The opening of the historic Castle Hot Springs Resort has been  pushed back due to a heavy monsoon season this year.

Spokesman Steven Sampson said the opening is now planned for New Year’s Eve.

It was initially planned for October.

“Castle Hot Springs is nearing completion, but the monsoon storm of July 6 set back the opening due to clean up and construction,” he said.
