Jemez Falls, Waterfall in Sandoval County, United States.
Jemez Falls are waterfalls in Santa Fe National Forest that flow through volcanic rock and form multiple tiers along the East Fork. The water cascades through several distinct levels as it moves down the streambed.
The area formed through volcanic activity over 1 million years ago when a super volcano shaped the landscape. This geological past continues to influence the structure of the falls and surrounding terrain today.
The falls hold meaning for indigenous communities of the region who have long used the surrounding forests and waters. Visitors can still sense how important this place remains to local people today.
Access is via Forest Trail 137 with a designated parking area and connections to other hiking paths nearby. Visitors should prepare for changing conditions and wear comfortable hiking shoes.
Water flows year-round and creates natural pools with brown trout and thermal springs. This combination shows the land remains geologically active today.
