Description
"Lower Eagle Falls" is a photograph of tiered Lower Eagle Falls as it nears the point where it flows into Lake Tahoe. The snow melt of late Spring really makes the falls rush.
Lower Eagle Falls can be seen from the roadside, at the Emerald Bay / Vikingsholm parking lot area (a half mile drive from the Eagle Falls picnic area). It is a very popular tourist stop and it is incredibly difficult to get a parking spot here during the day on weekends.
The waterfall is an awesome one, particularly in the spring, falling in two large drops. In the summer, once all the snow melts in the mountains, the waterfall reduces to a trickle. The upper section of Eagle Falls is 58 ft.; the lower falls is 82 ft. high. There are two ways to get to the base of Eagle Falls. A maintained easy one-mile trail leads from the parking lot at Emerald Bay State Park down to the lake. The other way to get down is to climb down the rocks from the roadside at the brink of the falls. This way is more difficult, but quicker and provides more views of the falls from up close. But be careful, people have died here going over the falls.
I gave this image a painterly effect.
