Mogollon Falls

 

Mogollon Falls lo

This image of Mogollon Falls is scanned from an old ventage postcard online.  Judging by the people sitting on the rock ledges, this waterfall must be about 35 feet high.  I remember seeing this postcard in the late 1950’s.  And... Kind old man Rice let my Dad & I, fish there 40 years ago.  It is a wonderful place.

 

...and here is what it looks like on Google Satellite...

 

Another waterfall shown in the photo below is 25’ high.  It is found on Mogollon Creek just downstream from Teepee  Canyon.  It is on the right-side of map below & marked on our map with the number 25. This upper Mogollon Creek waterfall was documented by Ben Billings.  It is on public lands, in the Gila Wilderness.
