If you approach South Lake Tahoe from the South on Highway 50, you likely noticed Horsetail Falls, just a few miles before ascending over Echo Summit. Today I hiked the Pyramid Creek trail, which ascends up to the Falls along some very lovely scenery. Here are some photos.

Near the start of the trail.

A large cascade along the trail.

Pleasant stretch of stream.

One of many rapids.

There are lots of trees here.

Another mini-waterfall along the trail.

Up close, near center of main waterfall.

Water streaming through a narrow gorge.
