訪問に最適な時期

Late spring to early summer, when snowmelt makes the falls strongest; visit early morning for softer light and far fewer people.

予算のヒント

Parking usually requires a California State Parks day-use fee (typically around $10 to $12), and the California State Parks annual pass is accepted; check current rates online. Save money by taking South Lake Tahoe area transit in summer or visiting on weekdays to avoid paid overflow lots.

おすすめ対象

概要

クイックファクト: 花崗岩の棚を勢いよく流れ落ちる滝は、合計約30フィートの二つの主要な段に分かれて落ち、日差しの下でしばしばエメラルド色に輝く透明な飛び込み池に注ぐ。約1.5マイルの往復トレイルは香りのよいジェフリー松林を通り、磨かれた花崗岩の上を縫うように進み、広大な高山湖と鋭いシエラ山脈の頂上を斜めから望む景色でハイカーを楽しませる。

見どころ: 松の枝を通り抜ける太陽の光が水しぶきに小さな虹を描き、午後の光が低くなる時間帯には霧の中に最大五つの異なる色の帯が見えることもある。ハイカーたちは真昼の日差しで華氏約95度まで温まった花崗岩の板の上に腰かけ、冷たくて鋭い刺激を与える水しぶきの池に足をつけて涼む。

インサイダーヒント

Wear sturdy shoes and a windproof layer, trails are short but rocky and can be chilly from the mist.
Bring a wide-angle lens and shoot from the lower viewpoint for the waterfall plus Emerald Bay combo, arrive at sunrise for best light.
Skip the busiest paved lookout by continuing 10 to 15 minutes along the trail toward Eagle Lake for quieter views.
Arrive before 9am or after 4pm to avoid tight parking and tour-bus crowds, especially on summer weekends.
