Gallup sits in dry country, and the waterfall page shows it with just two entries. The Falls is the easier of the pair, an out and back of a mile and a half that climbs 200 feet. Big Falls covers identical mileage while the grade stiffens to 300 feet and a moderate rating. Bring the dog to either one. Watch the sky more than the calendar out here, because these drainages only carry water after the late-summer monsoons arrive.
