Travertine Falls — Attraction in New Mexico

An easy to moderately steep climb up with about half the time in shade at most times of the day (less at high noon), very pleasant when it is cool and still fine when it is hotter.

The downfall of it is in some spots the trail is very narrow and it's on a steep hill about 10 feet down and if you slip you will fall down I had to be really careful with my 2 year old walking and they had a lot of rocks my son kept tripping over. Not really for a young kid other than that not bad I will hopefully be going there again...
