Star
Falls
This photo
shows some of the high peaks of the Toas Pueblo land… The headwaters of Taos
Pueblo Creek as seen from Eagle Nest Lake.
This is sacred Taos Pueblo Land and it is
not open to the public. I have hopes
to get permission to hike into Star Falls next spring while it is high with
snow melt. The photo above is
taken from Eagle Nest Lake. The
usgs topo map scales this fall to be 200 to 300 feet high. From the photo above I would guess it
to be closer to 400 feet high. The
sheer cliffs rise to near 1000’ on each side of Star Falls. A photo taken from the top of the high
cliff just north of the falls should be awesome showing Star Lake and Star
Falls with the peaks behind them.
This is an amazing place.
