  • We’ve been there before. In January. In the cold. And liked it. So, why not return?! The Falls are in the middle of nowhere. About 40+ miles from Carlsbad out in the high desert. The road there is...

  • The price per car is fenomenal & you can bring your dogs...the experience was a fun & exciting one. Watch out for the leeches though & make sure you wear appropriate shoes...it's slippery.
  • If you like hiking this is a great hike. We took the 3 mile hike behind the falls then the short .7 mile hike to the falls. The 3 mile hike (one way) is moderate with a 1500ft gain in altitude but worth the trek. The .7 mile is on paved concrete with hand rails. Don't forget to take a dip in the water below the falls. We did it! Water was about 66 degrees...a heart stopper but worth it to say, "yes, I did that!" Entry to area is $5 per car up to 9 people. $10 for car loads over 10 people. There is parking for trailers and/or motor homes but the road to the parking lot is a little narrow!! Have fun!
