Encino Falls
Highest waterfall in the Manzano Mountains
200’ high Encino Falls is in the northwest
portion of the Manzano Mountains. The dark lines down the white face of the
granite show the wet flowing of perennial spring waters. Would it be nice to see this amazing
waterfall flowing full during a wet spring from a heavy snow pack...!!!
AND...Climbers...just look at those
fabulous rock faces...!!!
