Having spent the first night in the Vista Linda campground south of Jemez Springs, and its warm temperatures, and after a hike to Boletsakwa Ruins, we moved the R-Pod to the Jemez Falls campground. After setting up the camper, we drove to the back end of the campground and the trailhead to Jemez Falls.
The Hike

This was a very pleasant hike, with the cooler temperatures and easy trail to the overlook above the Falls. Returning to the camper, we set a fire to roast marshmallows and enjoy the cool of the evening.

I urge you to explore our hiking tracks with Google Earth. With the virtual 3-dimensional presentation, achieved by panning and tilting the view, you can get a much better idea of the hikes and terrain than you can get from the 2-dimensional screenshot above.
