👍👍 What an amazing view of this lake! Normally you would expect a lake to be at a lower elevation where you would climb down. But to see this beautiful gem of a place, we hiked for about 2 miles on rocks, boulders and uneven ground. The effort was totally worth it ! Very clear fresh water lake surround...

Cascade Falls

Hiking area

👍👍 In October the falls were pretty dried up so you can climb over and around the rocks to explore the other side of the mountain. The views from this hike were amazing and it's not a hard hike at all. I would rate it as easy because it's short with very rewarding views.

Pyramid Creek Trailhead via Horsetail Falls

👍👍 One of the most spectacular and challenging hikes in the Tahoe region. Once you get up past Horsetail Falls, there are dozens of mountain lakes that you can explore and swim in. The hike from the trail head on Hwy 50 to just above the falls is the most challenging, basically straight up with some sc...
