essay
bro:
Four miles north of Mora on NM hwy 518 you
will find the little town of Cleveland, NM. Turn west here on county road B-028 for 5 miles and follow
forest road # 113 to Walker Flats.
This is where the going will get sketchy as I’m told that the locals in
this area use forest road signs for firewood… so, you will likely have to go by
feel from here. But the good thing
is that you are close. Trail #269
trailhead is about 2 miles past Walker Flats. Walker Flats is on this topo map below. Try mixing a little luck with a little
español also a National Forest Map as well as a copy of my map below, to find a
place to park and begin your hike.
Your
hike into South Fork Casa Falls on trail #269 will start at about 10400’
elevation if you have a high clearance vehicle that can navigate the roughness
of the primitive road above Walker Flats.
After you pass North fork Lake and Middle Fork Lake and climb the ridge
beyond there... you’ll turn east without a trail and head down the canyon. Follow South Fork Casa Creek to the
falls. Right click-and-save to

these waterfalls appear in this order while
descending South Fork Casa Creek...
A 15’ falls runs under this huge angular
boulder near the upper end of the steep canyon.
This 15-footer is just below the previous
one. The angular boulder above is
awesome!
South Fork Casa Falls is between these two
waterfalls
This 20-foot bouncer is below the main
falls
