I love weekend getaways. This particular escape landed my adventurous family & I in beautiful Lake Tahoe.
Our hike down the mountain to Emerald Bay and up to the waterfall was full of lush green vegetation, purple flowers and scattered little waterfalls that flowed into the quaint brook alongside the trail.
The magnificent puffy clouds traveling across the blue sky made for a picturesque backdrop as we hiked along the path. The pine trees stood mighty amidst the rocky Sierra Mountains.
We knew we were approaching the waterfall when we turned the corner and came upon this bridge. It didn't matter which direction you looked - each angle took your breath away!
The last little trek of our journey was a bit more rocky and steep, but totally worth it.
We finally reached our destination. The water pouring down the mountainside was breathtaking. The cool mist of the majestic waters felt refreshing as we took in nature's beauty all around us. Such. An. Incredible. Experience!
Do you have a favorite weekend escape? Post them below! My family & I are always on the hunt for new places to explore and discover. And in case you are wondering, these photos were taken with my Nikon 3300.
