Jemez River

The Jemez River is a stream in northern New Mexico, flowing through the Jemez Mountains and the Valles Caldera. It begins in high-altitude springs, moves through forests and volcanic landscapes, and eventually joins larger rivers like the Rio Grande. The river plays a vital role in the local ecosystem, supporting wildlife, plants, and nearby communities. It also offers recreational opportunities such as fishing, hiking, and scenic views. The Jemez River is important for maintaining environmental health and is part of the region’s natural heritage and water resources.
