Two “baby” hikes. For our last day in Tahoe, we decided to go on a hike that the kids would be able to do. After some research, I decided on the Cascade Falls trail. A baby hike of just 1.4 miles out and back.
The beginning of the hike looked promising with a wide and flat pathBut the trail turned rugged shortly after Perfect hiking trail for us, but the 2-year old needed a bit of assistance navigating this terrain.Both kids were troopers and made it all the way to the top without falling down the side of the path.The view at the top of the trail – from left to right, Lake Tahoe, Cascade Lake, Cascade falls View of the lakes
The hike took us 3.5 hours, including lunch break, to complete. Afterwards, the 3 adults decided to do another quick hike while the kids, along with their mom, napped in the car.
The Eagle Lake trail is a 1.9 mile out and back, which took us about 1.5 hours to complete.
The Upper Eagle Falls The trail up to Eagle Lake is across the bridge above the upper Eagle Falls Entering the Desolation Wilderness shortly after scaling a flight of stone steps More stone steps Love the woodsy areaBeautiful granite mountain rangeWe briefly dipped our feet into the cold waters of Eagle LakeEver wonder what the undercarriage of a duck looks like?
While on our way to dinner at Himmel Haus, we were lucky enough to witness a big fat bear lumber across the roadway ahead of our car.
