Chasing Waterfalls: Bonus Video

Chasing Waterfalls: Pyramid Creek

To conclude the waterfalls series, here's a small creek flowing into Pyramid Creek.

Chasing Waterfalls: Horsetail Falls

The trail head for Pyramid Creek trail is on US-50 at Twin Bridges, a few miles west of Echo Pass. The upper part of the trail is streneous, but the reward is a beautiful view of Horsetail Falls. Hiking to the foot of the waterfalls is something for the more adventurous hiker. There is no official trail, but several paths lead through dry creek beds to the falls.

Chasing Waterfalls: Lower Glen Alpine Falls

On Glen Alpine Road not far from the Fallen Leaf Lake Marina is this gem of a waterfall. Easily accessible right next to the road.

Chasing Waterfalls: Modjeska Falls (2)

This is the view you get as the trail makes its way over the ridge before the falls.

Chasing Waterfalls: Modjeska Falls

After hiking for about a mile on Glen Alpine Trail you'll get to Modjeska Falls, also known as Upper Glen Alpine Falls. The photo shows the upper part of the falls. We'll get to the lower part tomorrow.

Chasing Waterfalls: Glen Alpine Creek

Not really a waterfall. Glen Alpine trail above Lily Lake is flooded, so the path to get to Glen Alpine Falls is a bit more challenging, involving clambering through the bushes on the left and right of the trail. The water is crystal clear and beautifully cold

Chasing Waterfalls: Bridal Veil

The waterfalls were plentiful last weekend. We started off with Bridal Veil Falls at US-50 near Fresh Pond, CA.
