We didn't use it so am not sure of its condition. There are also water spigots there and I did see a bathroom facility. They're very well maintained and looked new. There are picnic tables at the parking area. And, if you're adventurous, you can climb up the rocks for a spectacular view of the entire upper and lower falls. When you come around the corner, you'll be greeted with a beautiful sight. The water was low - only came halfway up my shins. We did the creek barefoot (carried our tennis shoes) and were ok, although it wasn't always comfortable as the pebbles were pretty sharp and the big rocks tended to be slick. If you have water shoes or rugged sandals that strap to your feet, be sure to bring them. This was definitely worth the exercise! When they say you'll get wet, understand that the trail WILL end in the creek and you'll have to walk a couple hundred feet in the water. So, we went back down and tried the lower trail. The view of the falls is pretty, but it's quite a distance and not what we had hoped to see. It was also very steep and narrow in places, so be sure you're wearing sturdy shoes. My husband and I drove to the park and were greeted by a very friendly park ranger, who made sure we knew where we were going.Īlthough the trails are supposedly 1/4 mile each, the upper trail felt a lot further. I saw a recommendation for Nambe Falls at our VRBO and was intrigued by the idea of a waterfall in such an arid location.
