Cañada del Agua Falls (spanish
– Big Canyon of Water)
A recent visitor here tells me
that the top portion off this waterfall has crumbled and caved in some... and,
it has lost a lot of it’s
beauty.

waterfalls in Cañada del Agua….

essay bro:
It is a must for you to have very good topo
map reading abilities to find your way into this place. I highlighted the route I used in “light red”
on the map below. This is wild country….
You can almost feel a mountain lion nearby.
