Sitting Bull Falls

Hopefully this will be our next camping/hiking destination:



It was hard to find large pictures of the place...I found the above pictures here.

Sitting Bull Falls lies just northwest of Carlsbad, New Mexico. "The water of the 130-foot falls is highly mineralized and has deposited a massive travertine bluff that towers over the picnic ground." There is also a cave hidden behind the waterfalls that is only accessible via an appointment with a park ranger.

Here is a set on flickr that shows the falls in a bit more detail, (including the swimming spots.)
