New
Mexico Waterfalls Photo Gallery
Some of New Mexico’s
beautiful waterfalls
Brazos
Falls, New Mexico’s highest, descends 1,300 feet in two tiers.
The deep sheer-walled gorge below Resumidero Falls
is peaceful and quite secluded.
A forest service sign along forest road 93 in the
northern Jemez Mountains identifies this falls.
About a mile below Resumidero Falls is 50-foot
high Echo Falls. Her brother Box
Falls in the far upper left-hand corner above, is half her height.
Leaping over Echo Falls is the last thing Rito
Resumidero does before it conflues with the Rio Puerco.
My
daughter takes a breather before we climb out of Lichen Falls secret
sheer-walled chamber.
This
60-foot high waterfall is on the Rio Puerco about a quarter of a mile upstream
from Echo Falls.
