Eagle Lake & Eagle Falls Trail plus a Hailstorm in South Lake Tahoe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2019
- Eagle Lake is one of my favorite short hikes in South Lake Tahoe. This 2-mile trail has a waterfall and a beautiful lake nestled in the middle of some massive peaks. We hiked it about a week ago and got caught in a hailstorm which was a pretty crazy experience in South Lake Tahoe.

Havent been to Lake Tahoe since 1969 when I was stationed in Fallon Nevada. Great video. Thanks
No problem, I wish I got up there more as it is an amazing area.
Thank you for making a point about the permits for Desolation Wilderness! Also, for those thinking of going to Eagle Lake and Emerald Bay, it gets really hard to find parking by 9am and doesn't let up till after 4pm. So, Go Early or Go Late and don't forget your outdoor essentials.
What a lucky day for you to catch the rain and hail at the same time!
I can't complain it was pretty cool!
So beautiful; especially with the video of the rain and hail.
Great timing with the rain and hail, makes for a more interesting outing. Love the Lake Tahoe area. One of the most beautiful places on earth.
I agree, it made it a more unique video for sure. I also agree that Tahoe is one of the most beautiful places on Earth as well.
I love the combination of rain and sunshine. I'm surprised you didn't see a rainbow. Cool area. Great video.
That would have been icing on the cake to see a rainbow but there was another storm rolling in it seemed so we probably would have had to stay longer to se one.
I was just at Eagle Lake with my wife and 6 month old daughter on Friday and yes it's a very family friendly hike! Super easy since the lake is only a few miles off Highway 89. But wow the parking is really a nightmare if you dont get there early.
So beautiful and I loved the rain and hail, looks so pretty coming down what a great view awesome!!!!
I agree, it was so pretty to see falling on the lake!
A tip : watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Jerome Maxim Definitely, been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself :D
@Jerome Maxim Definitely, I've been using Flixzone} for years myself :D
@Jerome Maxim Yup, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself :)
I have been in Lake Tahoe, but never in Eagle Lake. Looks beautiful. Definitely in my bucket list of lakes to explore. Thanks for such an awesome video.
No problem, thanks for watching the video!
Very cool eagle lake I've been there in July ... Cool spot to visit...enjoyed there ..thanks for recalling this place.
Thank you for sharing soon I'll be there 😍😍😍😍
HAIL!! WHAT A GREAT TIME TO HIKE! That was awesome, love the weather to make a day unique.
Thank you I was there yesterday thank you so much now I have a reason to go back and do a hike
What a beautiful place! With hail, no less!
I agree!
That place is gorgeous and what amazing footage you got with the sun & the rain together.
Thanks for the comment, I agree the rain made the video pretty epic
I love your videos! I first saw your channel while we were in Lake Tahoe and now I keep watching them for when we go back in 2020. Keep it up please.
The rain feels refreshing. I love all of your video and thank you for sharing your adventures.
It was really refreshing!
Thank you for sharing this video. Drove thru this area in July and it is beautiful.
It really is a beautiful area. I wish I got a chance to spend more time there.
We're always looking for family friendly hikes. Especially to see waterfalls along the way!
Josh with the Gems !! Definitely doing this trail when i go next year ! Hailstorm was epic !!
haha thanks Ian, appreciate it!
Beautiful.. Thank You... love it. Thank You
Great video, Josh! Coincidentally, my wife and I completed the Eagle Falls hike six years to the day you posted your video.
That's awesome! Hopefully it didn't hail on you when you went hahs
Beautiful video!
Loved it.
Your vids are so well done and interesting. Great work.
Great video. Please! More of Tahoe i love this place. Returning this December.
So beautiful...
You seem to time the weather so perfect...hail in Tahoe, snow in Joshua Tree!!
It has been a pretty crazy weather year for me!
looks really nice
Caught in the same freak hailstorm, lol. BTW, thanks for the recommendation -- hit Eagle Lake on Monday and it was gorgeous. Although short, definitely not a hike for beginners!
Last time I went to Lake Tahoe was 1983 On a ski trip for New Year’s wasn’t perfect but it was a lot of fun thank you for the great video
Great video I live in Glenbrook Nevada it sure is nice to see a young couple enjoying the great outdoors and shinning a spotlight such a beautiful place...Awesome job...thx Todd
I was there over the summer! Fell in love 😍
Just went there last weekend. Eagle Lake is amazing, but the Eagle Fall, mmm... Will check it out again next year when there are more water.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing! On our list now!
AWESOME, Missed this when posted, just watched the Mt Tallac video! 2 hikes very close together. Will do the short runs on each as both look spectacular!
Just moved to the area and this is now going on my To Do list! Thanks!
So awesome, there is so much to do in Tahoe
Stunning scenery 👌would love to try that hike 👍
It's a great hike for sure and not very long
I was just in Lake Tahoe and I wish I saw that video before I went cause we would have gone on this hike for sure. Thanks for sharing
I like this YOUTube "show & tell" very much.
Happy smile at the end is nice, too.
That looks amazing
The hail is cool and the forest beautiful
Thx for the heads up!👍👊✌
I went to eagles falls this Saturday
Your video are amazing!!!!
Looks like an amazing hike! We just got hit by a crazy hail storm at Diamond Lake in Oregon - it took us by complete surprise, but we had our trailer to hide in. Living in SoCal we just don’t get hailed on very often. So fun though!
Love this place 💋
Another nice video, sir!
Thank you!
Good one Josh! Thanks Rox
No problem, thanks for the comment!
So cool
Wonderful destinations my friend. Great scens dan travel Vlog. I love it. Have a njce day and see tou again sir. 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for the comment and for watching the video!
Nice video, South Lake Tahoe is an awesome place, the landscape is beautiful. If I ever win the lottery, I will move there.
I agree, I would love to win the lottery and move there as well
Hail= The earths stink balls! LOL Thanks for the video as always
I did Cascade falls recently. Its a similar hike with all the rocks. Got stung by a wasp or bee. They are very bad in the Tahoe area this year. I got stung again while camping.
Another great video! Always very informative. We’re making an effort to travel more within California (we live in Sacramento) instead of flying to far away places. There’s so much to see here out west. Thank you for showing all of these cool places to visit. Maybe we’ll make the 2 hour drive to the Eagle Lake hike this weekend!
It is crazy how many amazing things there are to do in California. I love traveling outside the state as well but we are certainly pretty blessed here. Get there early on the weekends parking near Emerald Bay always fills fast.
Yeah, I prefer to go to Tahoe on weekdays. We drove up for ice cream (delicious and highly recommended) at Fallen Leaf Lake a few weeks ago on a Sunday. The traffic was crazy as usual. There’s still so much around Tahoe that I haven’t experienced.
nothing like this in Florida, great video!
Thanks for the comment!
Awesome video, that looks like a great hike! How long was it from the bridge to the lake?
Go to star lake! 🙌
I thought you were going to talk about Eagle Lake by Susanville/Lassen. Still a great video.
I have never been to that one, I will have to look it up
👏👏👏👏 bravo ,bravo ,buenísimo,as alway.
Thank you!
I’m late lol
Still, I gotta comment...
Great video, of course!! 👍🏼👏🏼
Hey Josh, do you know if we are allowed to swim / is it safe to swim there? Thanks
Hey, did you go three days ago? We are heading there in about a month.
how far is this waterfall from eagle point campground?! thank you
Buh yooo teee fulll!
1 mile hike to the Eagle lake?
About how far are the Lower/Upper Falls from the parking lot?
Great video, Thanks. What month was this filmed?
This was filmed last Tuesday (so the end of August)
Hi can you swim there? Also great video!
캘리포니아 자연환경이 완전 쥑이네요^^
Very Squatchy!
I'm curious about the Escondido Falls trail in Malibu in the Santa Monica Mountains. I've made it to the first waterfall but read somewhere that there are two others but getting to them is difficult. Anyone have any info on that?
Edit
Found what I was looking for. California Through My Lense is the best.
It's been a while since I did that hike but I have gone to the upper falls both times. It can be a little sketchy though and I wouldn't recommend after a hard rain as the trail to the upper falls may wash out.
@@californiathroughmylens The first time I went was this past father's day with my kids. (Boy and girl. 11 & 10 respectively) I didn't trust going past the first falls with them. I'll probably go this weekend without them so I can see the upper falls. Thanks. Since I've subscribed this has been one of my favorite channels. My list of things to do is getting long. Lol.
i was supposed to go here yesterday, but we cancelled plans because of the COVID. :(
too short Josh !!!!! Looked amazing though
haha, I tried to make it as long as I could for a 2 mile round trip hike haha
Mornings are better than afternoons or evening.
How was the waterfall? I live in Reno and did this hike last July and the waterfall was finished
I didn't go down to lower Eagle Falls, just to the one in the video but it was pretty nice still so I imagine lower would be as well.
you missed out this year they were amazing. big winters give big falls. :D Maybe this next spring take a trip up to check out the falls.
Can you hike in winter with all that snow?
Snowshoeing is a lot of fun Nathan. The really good hike nearby is to hike out to Round Lake from the Big Meadows trailhead when there's snow on the ground it's gorgeous.
"It's sunny and raining" you sir clearly don't live in Texas. Your content made my Lake Tahoe trip possible. Thank you!
haha, I do not. Does it rain with the sun there often? Glad my videos were helpful!
@@californiathroughmylens weather in Texas is unpredictable. I've seen hail on a sunny day in Austin, TX. I'd love to be in touch. You seem like a cool guy. Hit me up Instagram @johar_ali_photography
My backyard not too bad
Great place to hike but be careful. A woman died @ the falls this past June taking a selfie.
Thanks for the comment! I think that was Lower Eagle falls which doesn't have a railing or bridge like the upper one does
Seren
Excellent tour guiding for the interest and wonder of nature's beautiful wilderness.
Please, fill out permits just incase you get eaten by a bear, mountain lion, coyotes, bitten by a rattle snake, hurt, frost bitten, hypothermic, or lost hiking, so that, the search and rescue team know to find you. Got it? It takes one minute to do, so DO IT. Also, NEVER hike alone..."Doggos" don't count as "humans" in this instance.
Are there restrooms along the way? I want to bring kids
My first thought Jen great question.
Leave Tahoe alone. Don’t bring more tourism dude
