Sitting Bull Falls is a tall plunge waterfall in New Mexico, dropping 150 ft (46 m).
The falls are fed by spring-fed canyon stream. You'll find it in Eddy, New Mexico. It is protected within Lincoln 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 0.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Carlsbad, the closest town.
When to go: year-round (spring-fed). Like most waterfalls, Sitting Bull 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.
