Cibecue Falls is an amazing experience. This fun and challenging hike crawls 1.5 miles up Cibecue Creek, which flows down a canyon and culminates at Cibecue Falls. You will be in and out of the shade as you navigate through the creek all the way up to the waterfall. The water itself begins in a spring in Cibecue so it flows regularly.
The 45$ permit includes a night of camping. Definitely worth making a weekend, a day or even a moment out of.
Please treat this land with absolute respect. This is the Tribe's land and they could choose to shut off access to this amazing place if they choose.
**as of October the falls are currently closed** we will update this page as soon as it opens.
You need a permit for this hike. It used to be available online and may be again at some point in the future. The Sportman's is Mesa no longer sell's it. Currently the only way to get the permit is at the Sinclar in Cibecue or at the Sportman's in Show Low.
The road to the trailhead is 4.0 miles of unpaved road. It is highly recommended to bring a vehicle with 4 wheel drive although not required. This road is extremely tight and very rocky.
It is highly recommended to bring water shoes as opposed to hiking boots as you will get in shin deep water as you navigate the creek to the falls.
This experience has been known to seasonally close due to the risk of flash flooding. Be sure to check the website prior to embarking on this journey.
