essay bro:
The Rio Nambe near Pojoaque has wonderful
natural occurring waterfalls as it drops thru a sheer-walled gorge immediately
below Nambe dam. The highest one
is about 100 feet high. This is
within Nambe Pueblo land. A
well-kept, beautiful campground owned by the tribe is open to the public for a
reasonable fee. A hike up to the
waterfalls is quite exceptional.
