Hideaway
Falls
…for WAY serious
bushwhacking hikers only…!!!
45’ high Hideaway Falls. Hideaway Creek
Canyon is 45 feet higher South Fork Casa Canyon, so here where these two
canyons meet we have a sweet 45’ high waterfall. I feel that this is the most beautiful
confluence of any two streams in New Mexico. South Fork Rio de la Casa (English for
House Creek) flows from right to left across the bottom of this photo… and
Hideaway Creek does a splash-landing into it, as it passes by…
But
Hideaway Creek
Is loaded with many other
Beautiful
and high
waterfalls
Upstream a quarter mile is 60’ high Upper
Hideaway Falls
Between the two waterfalls shown above is
several more wonderful waterfalls. This
is the upper tier of a 50’ high two-tiered falls. Below is a photo of the lower tier with the
upper tier showing above it.
Each tier is about 25’ high.
Here is a 30’er…
These are just a few photos… there are many
other waterfalls up Hideaway Creek
