Eagle Falls Hike- enjoying our neighborhood...
Today we ventured into the majestic hills surrounding Lake Tahoe. I was given a book on the hikes of Tahoe and we plan to embark on each of them. Today we took one of the easier paths, Eagle Falls. Steve spent 20 summers at Lake Tahoe and never scaled this beautiful granite mountain.
Eagle Falls has two different waterfalls to choose from and we decided to see them both. There is the Lower Eagle falls, and Upper Eagle Falls. Both are beautiful and worth the short hike. Lower Eagle Falls is about 1 mile hike down to the lake. The waterfall is spectacular, falling in two large cascades, the first about 60 ft. the second about 90 ft. It's an easy to moderate hike and takes about 20-30 minutes. This is a great waterfall, and worth seeing. This is one of the most popular hikes in the area, for good reason.
We admired the frozen falls, had a picnic lunch in the sunshine on a cliff above the Lake and reflected upon our decision. It was a spectacular last day in Tahoe.
