Nambe Falls
Directions

Located on Nambé Pueblo lands near Santa Fe, Nambé Falls features a spectacular series of cascading waterfalls surrounded by canyon walls. Visitors can take a short, dry hike up to a high scenic overlook or wade through the stream to reach the base of the lower falls. The surrounding recreation area also provides opportunities for picnicking, fishing, and outdoor relaxation.
