Travertine Falls

Ted Dorff

I expected there to be water, but alas, I should have read previous reviews before hiking. The falls were really close and dry. At least they didn’t have litter or valdalism. We Co tied to the lookout on the long fork on Crest 13. It was relatively empty. We passed about 4 parties in 5 hours. By the time we got to the lookout we had consumed our water (3 bottles between 2 people). The lookout views were worth it.

About a mile of decently up hill hiking to get to the "cave" part. Dont expect to see the falls when you come here they are mostly dried out sadly its a seasonal thing they come and go. Lost of decent rock climbing areas up the trail. Perfect rock walls for people who are newer to climbing. This is my favorite spot to hike because its only 15 minutes or less outside ABQ. There is also bush crafting "houses" up above the falls a little ways youre always welcome to add to and build on whats existing

Good short hike for the dog. Someone practicing bushcraft up above the falls, that was neat. But no water at all, so... guess we'll try again after the rainy season.

A very easy trail to the falls but don’t expect to see a waterfall. It’s more like a small trickle. Still, this is a fun hike. There are small caves before the falls and if you make the trek above the falls and follow the trail a ways you will reach an amazing play area for the kids with large forts built from fallen trees. There are many structures with tunnels, tables and chairs, and some little water areas with good shade and spots to stop and eat or rest. Keep going up and you will have some great views but the trail gets a little rocky and can be fairly difficult if you don’t have the proper footwear.
