This beautiful waterfall, along Tahoe Rim Trail, is located right at the junction to Mount Rose Summit and is one of the main highlights along the hike to Mount Rose. Thanks to its location, it's the perfect spot to turn around or continue your loop along Tahoe Rim Trail if you don't plan to hike to the summit.

Here you are in front of one of the highest waterfalls on the Tahoe Rim Trail! It is a very nice spot.
