United States California Horsetail Falls

Horsetail Falls

A seasonal waterfall that glows orange at sunset in February, resembling flowing lava due to the angle of the setting sun's rays.

Tips from the community

These are some of the largest waterfalls near Lake Tahoe. The hike here is a fun scramble.
