Sitting Bull Falls is in the northern part of the Guadalupe Mts., north of the high escarpment that forms the eastern boundary of the main body of the range. Like the rest of the Guadalupe Mts., the area is limestone from an ancient reef. Sitting Bull Falls is unusual for a waterfall in New Mexico in that it actually has water falling most or even all of the year.
