I will never tire of hiking down to the shore of Emerald Bay State Park.
Our day's original plans got changed so we pivoted to our favorite hike and invited Karen. She was in!
While the Bay is gorgeous, our ultimate destination was Lower Eagle Falls.
Did you know that breathing the air around waterfalls may have a positive effect on health? That’s due to its content of negative ions, or “air vitamins,” as they are called by some overly enthusiastic supporters of their potential health benefits. I love that... air vitamins. Have you ever stood by a waterfall and suddenly felt your whole mood change? No, it isn’t a mind trick. It’s a real physiological occurrence.
Sometimes known as the waterfall effect, negative ions are released whenever water collides with itself — like in a waterfall or as it often does in the ocean. The negative ions, these invisible little powerhouses, are tossed in the air as the water collides with itself, and we reap the benefit by breathing them in. Karen is the one that shared this phenomenon with us.The waterfall spray benefits your mind and body by giving you the feeling of being refreshed and revived. I experience that each time I'm here.In addition, nature was providing some 'eye vitamins', too.Snacks were had here. So idyllic!This special place is home to what some consider to be the most iconic old-growth forest in the Lake Tahoe Basin. A visit is not complete without hugging something that quite possibly is twice as old as our Country. Wow. I 💙 Emerald Bay.
