Horsetail Falls in Tahoe
Horsetail Falls
Best seen in early summer when High Sierra snowmelt gushes down this granite slide, Horsetail Falls is certainly one of the most spectacular and easily accessible waterfalls in the Tahoe area. Park in the well-marked Pyramid Creek trailhead on the north side of Highway 50 (left for eastbound travelers) a mile or so east of Strawberry Lodge in the small village of Twin Bridges. Follow a single track trail through a small forest before emerging on the series of steep, granite slabs leading to a pool at the base of the falls which is the turnaround point, 3 miles roundtrip. Use extreme caution of wet rocks.
A lovely shady hike for the most part.
Difficulty: Fun and pretty easy to some sparkling pools, a little more sporting up to the base of the falls. Continue alongside the falls for a real adventure.
Best for: Waterfalls, scrambling and water play.
