In Cleveland, NM just west of Mora is a canyon called Rio la Casa [sometimes it's called Rio de la Casa depending on the map being read]. I have friends up this canyon building a unique house on the banks of the river, Rio la Casa. Further up the canyon is a place called Walker Flats. It's a high mountain meadow. Beyond that, further up into the Sange de Cristos is a beautiful waterfall which feeds the Rio la Casa river.
Last Saturday we drove up to within a couple miles of the waterfall then hiked into it. What a day and the views were just breathtaking. That river and waterfall are snow melt from the higher elevations. The water is really, really cold. On the close up shot of the waterfall rocks is snow still not melted yet. The water doesn't warm up as it gets into the warmer parts of the canyon a few miles below and lower down in elevation. It's still quite cold.
