essay bro
I accessed this waterfall from San Pedro
Parks Wilderness San Gregorio Trailhead.
Trail 51 took me 3-miles or more to Trail 417... then
a mile or two to the Rio Puerco... where I left the trail and bushwhacked
downstream a mile or two to the falls.
This last mile is not for the faint-of-heart. There are no more waterfalls downstream... I
walked all the way down and back... a huge day hike.
Sorry, no map
