250’ high Cascade Falls – Pecos Wilderness
The
deep sheer-walled gorge below Resumidero Falls is
peaceful and quite secluded.
A
forest service sign along forest road 93 in the northern Jemez Mountains
identifies this falls.
About
a mile below Resumidero Falls is 50-foot high Echo
Falls. Her brother Box Falls in the far
upper left-hand corner above, is half her height.
Leaping
over Echo Falls is the last thing Rito Resumidero does before it conflues
with the Rio Puerco.
My daughter takes a breather before we
climb out of Lichen Falls secret sheer-walled chamber.
This 60-foot high waterfall is on the Rio
Puerco about a quarter of a mile upstream from Echo Falls.
