Chocolate Falls

The actual name is Grand Falls, Arizona.

It is called Chocolate Falls because of its color. The flow was very high on this day, @ 4,000 cfs.

 

The water that flows over the falls comes from the Little Colorado River. The Little Colorado River in this area is dry part of the year. The River forms from seasonal rains and snowmelt from the Painted Desert Region and the Puerco River. The drainage area covers Eastern Arizona and western New Mexico an area of about 26,500 miles,

 

Grand Falls is 185 tall... taller than Niagara Falls
