The falls are a short walk from the road and there are many viewing areas. Parking is informal on the side of the road or you can park at Lily Pond. The road leading there has some one way sections and can have some uneven surfaces.

This is a medium-difficult challenge hike. The trail is rocky and is on a slope and there are a lot of narrow parts. Wear good hiking shoes. Sneakers are not recommended. Parking is limited and going early 8-9Am or late 3-4pm will have more chance of getting parking.

Food scene

In Bally's casino, to the right of the cashier's area, past the (closed) buffet. I enjoy the $50 prix fixe on Thursday, Friday, Sunday: Get reservation through OpenTable. It may be listed as "Cierra - Mont Bleu restaurant" since Mont Bleu has been rebranded to Bally's. https://www.ballys.com/lake-tahoe/ciera-steak-chophouse.htm

Great dining, especially the Happy Hour 2-6 every day in the bar/lounge. I love the fish tacos. Restaurant patio dining will have a view of Lake Tahoe. https://www.laketahoevacationresort.com/amenities/bear-moon-bar-grill
