Gorgeous hike with views of the Upper Eagle Falls. Pretty hiking trail with fresh air and nice views.

It’s only about 0.2 miles (0.3 kilometers) along an easy trail with stone steps to reach a lovely bridge overlooking Eagle Falls and Emerald Bay. There’s a loop trail heading back down at this point, but if you can, continue onward for another 0.8 miles (1.3 kilometers) through some steeper sections to Eagle Lake. Take a swim in the cold alpine waters if you dare, or enjoy a picnic lunch on the big boulders around the lake and enjoy the wonderful vistas. Dedicated hikers can continue even farther to reach Velmas, Dicks, and Fontanillis Lakes.

The hike to see the falls is great. The best is to hike further on that opens up to a secluded beautiful lake. Take water and a snack.

Arrive early to park near the trailhead. You can also cross the highway for a view of Emerald Bay.
