Mogollon Falls
This
image of Mogollon Falls is scanned from an old ventage
postcard online. Judging by the people
sitting on the rock ledges, this waterfall must be about 35 feet high. I remember seeing this postcard in the late
1950’s. And... Kind
old man Rice let my Dad & I, fish there 40 years ago. It is a wonderful place.
...and here is what it
looks like on Google Satellite...
Another waterfall shown in
the photo below is 25’ high. It is found
on Mogollon Creek just downstream from Teepee Canyon. It is on the right-side of map below &
marked on our map with the number 25. This upper Mogollon Creek waterfall was
documented by Ben Billings. It is on
public lands, in the Gila Wilderness.
