Pajarito Falls
Pajarito
Falls
Hiking the Blue Dot Trail in Whiterock, NM is the only way to see Pajarito
Falls. The Blue Dot Trail descends 1000
feet from the rim of Whiterock Canyon to the Rio
Grande. The falls are a couple hundred
yards above Pajarito Creek’s confluence with the
Rio. Pajarito
Falls is only head high but is part of a fine
hike. Several refreshing cascades sing
and laugh their way down steep rocky slopes a half mile above the falls at Pajarito Springs.
Trails on the map below are shown with
purple lines. The Blue Dot trailhead
parking and the Red Dot trailhead parking are each identified with a big black
X. Notice that a complete circle… a
round trip hike can be enjoyed here.
Make a loop hike beginning and ending in the same spot. I believe that the people of Los Alamos and Whiterock are New Mexico’s hiking-est
peoples… join them.
*Sorry, Blue
Dot Trail and Red Dot Trail are switched wrong with each other,we will correct this asap-
