Really liked the hike from the parking lot up to the falls which is like two and a half miles and then continued up to the summit of Mount Rose the highest mountain in the area. Beautiful views back into I think six legs. Lake Tahoe. Donner Lake. Stampede reservoir. Boca and another one I forgot the name :-) going from a fairly decent trail through the woods and then once you get past the waterfall you head up fairly steeply tell you arrive at the peak with views from above the tree line :-)
One of the best hikes Ive done in a while! A great variety of views and terrain. It wasnt exceeding strenuous which is good because it is at around 9000 ft. We were able to cover a lot of ground and feel like we got a good workout in.
Only gave it 4 stars because the falls themselves arent that spectacular, but it is a great little hike. Rather easy with very little elevation change on a well maintained and popular trail. Perfect for a day hike with the kids or a quick run with (or without) the dog. Lots of mature pines to provide shade in the summer once you cross over the ridge to the Reno side, and at any rate, its up at an elevation to get out of the valley heat. And the views of Tahoe at the beginning of the hike are beautiful, as all views of Tahoe are.
This is the perfect beginners hike. The steepest part is the beginning of the trail. The 2.5 miles to the waterfall has big views of Lake Tahoe and fantastic views of the Reno area too. The trail is thin in spots and wide in others, rocky in some spots and flat dirt in others. Great sun on much of the trail, but also enough shade throughout to keep it from getting too hot (at least at this time of year).I strongly recommend this hike.
Beautiful and easy hike, good for beginners, kids enjoyed the waterfall and a beautiful small Creek on top of the waterfall.
There was a pretty sight and the trail wasnt difficult at all. 10/10 would recommend
Its heaven. Bring water.
A bit to many people, the hike is great
Beautiful destination hike and not too arduous. Its a 2.5 mile long steady hike, so bring water and snacks. Some amazing views of Tahoe along the way.
We went just as the falls were freezing over, it was very nice. I will have to go in the spring when I can see more of the vegetation and water. I suppose the fall would be nice too. Great day hike
Not a lot of water but beautiful scenery.
Well worth the easy hike. It has really beautiful views and the falls are lovely
Always worth the hilke
Great little hike! 2.5 miles from the Mt. Rose Summit Trail Head. Got there in 40 minutes walking at a brisk pace.
Cant deny these amazing views!
July 14th and still snow on several sections of the trail. Nothing major, just careful footing. The most water I have seen at these falls, and snow packed all around the falls.
This a very beautifal waterfall. I took us about 1 hour hiking and it is worthy.
Family friendly hike to a beautiful waterfall.
These falls are exciting at runoff periods.
Great hiking track with breathtaking views!
Great hike! Beware, the snow can linger into July in shady sections!
Got a late start so it was too crowded, would be better with a 5:30am start time
Great hike! Takes 50-60 min, at moderate pace, to get to the falls. Lots of wildflowers and beautiful views. Very satisfying.
Great hiking trail.
I love coming here! Have came here for the past 6 years with my family and friends. This waterfall is really cool with a towering 60 foot drop! Come here during the summer due to heavy snow in the winters! Hope you get a chance to come up to this beauty
Great hike! A bit chilly towards the end of the day. I recommend a light jacket for the hike.
Beautiful place...
A beautiful and pleasant hike that includes a waterfall. Be prepared for an incline in the trail and sections of narrow, unrailed trail.
This was a nice little Trail a great way to spend a hot summer day up in the nice cool mountains.
Awesome hike. Lots of wildflowers and scenic views of Lake Tahoe . Easy trail, and the falls were beautiful.
Fun hike
Fairly easy 5 mile hike to beautiful falls
Easy walk to spectacular views.
Nice waterfall that is relatively easy to get to
Easy wonderful hike, on a dog friendly trail
Nice hike, beautiful wild flowers.
Nice place to rest on the way to the peaks
Love this beautiful place
Exhausting but worth it
Crowded, but worth it!
Beautiful hike!
