Sitting Bull Falls is located about 50 minutes from downtown Carlsbad, NM. Byron, with the National Forest Services, showed me some spots with incredible views. After driving on bumpy roads, we hiked down to one of the caves he knew. The cave has a huge entrance which looks like a big mouth trying to swallow whatever comes in, which gave me goose bumps. But inside the cave is amazingly beautiful, decorated with incredible formations. After this, we hiked the area above the sitting bull falls.

Cave near Sitting Bull Falls State Park in Roswell, New Mexico

New Mexico is a very dry state, but this park has so much water coming from underground, and it is incredibly clear water. Actually you can go swimming in the pool at the bottom of the falls, and you see so many fish in the pool. Very cold water though… (around 67F?). I have done a photo shoot at the falls, and the image will be included in my next exhibition at the Roswell Museum of Art.

Anyway, I couldn’t find a location for photo shooting this time, but it was a good hike and a good break.
