From the Lake Tahoe World / Places
Glen Alpine Falls
Glen Alpine Falls cascades over broad rock steps above Fallen Leaf Lake. The lower falls are close to the road, making this a shorter waterfall visit than the longer wilderness trails nearby.
Lake Tahoe / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Lake Tahoe with our travel partners.
The stepped rock spreads the flowing water across the hillside rather than concentrating it into a single narrow drop. Seasonal snowmelt changes the appearance, so the experience depends strongly on the time of year. The lower falls provide a compact visit, while the Glen Alpine wilderness trailhead serves as the starting point for longer hikes.
