Upper Frijoles Falls is a waterfall that comes off of Frijoles Creek. This waterfall and others in the area were created when stronger rocks, like basalt, slowed the erosional process. This area is known as a geological point of interest. Looking across the creek here, there are maar volcano deposits that formed during ancient volcano eruptions, when molten rock erupted through water.
