essay bro:
Brazos falls is the highest waterfall in New Mexico. Brazos Falls Creek, a tributary to the
Brazos River, descends an amazing 2400 feet in its short 2-mile length. 1300 feet of this is near
vertical. “It’sa thousand foot
falls,” say the locals… and I more than agree. The top 800’ here are beautiful hanging falls. These can be seen in the photograph
(above – left). With envy I have
watched the rock-climbers… what wonderful views of the falls they must receive
for their efforts… smile…
I recommend a multi-day vacation at
Corkin’s Lodge, as resorting here you will enjoy the beauty, accompanied with a
peace – of – mind that trespassing can never afford.
