About This Trail

Imported description

It was easy to get to the waterfall from the camp ground. It is also accessible from the East Fork Trail. The hot springs are in Jemez. It's not as long of a hike but better springs. This is an easy hike to the waterfall. The trail is dirt, but there are exposed rocks at the end. There are plenty of shady spots because of the tall pine trees. There is a scenic overlook near the end of the trail. It's possible to go down to the top of the falls. You should bring your shoes and wade in the water.
