Jemez Falls drops 70 ft (21 m) as a tiered waterfall in New Mexico.
Jemez Falls sits on East Fork Jemez River. It lies in Sandoval, New Mexico. The site is on public land managed by Santa Fe National Forest (USFS).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.8 miles round trip. The nearest town is Jemez Springs.
When to go: Late spring snowmelt (May-Jun). Like most waterfalls, Jemez Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
