Jemez-Falls is a 70-foot high waterfall that is reached by a short hiking trail from a turnoff on New Mexico Route 4. This state highway is the main route connecting the remote town of Los Alamos, the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Bandelier National Monument to other, more major highways in the state. New Mexico Route 4 forms the main artery of the Jemez Mountain Trail National Scenic Byway. Besides Jemez Falls, other points of interest along the byway include the Jemez Pueblo, Valles Caldera National Preserve, Bandelier National Monument and the Jemez River. The Jemez State Monument protects both Puebloan ruins and the ruins of a mission constructed by 16th-century Spanish explorers. There is an easy hike to beautiful Jemez Falls. The trail is dirt, but there are some exposed rocks; most of these are at the end of the trail. Tall pine trees provide plenty of shady spots. There is a scenic overlook near the end of the trail with a full view of the falls. You can turn around here or continue down to the top of the falls, where there is a shallow pond. Please be advised to bring water-shoes for wading in the cool water. There is a campground at Jamez Falls and the waterfall is also near Fenton Lake State Park. Several other hiking trails are also in the area and kayaking is possible in the rapids of the Jemez River.
