Hey, I recently went to the Pyramid Creek area off Highway 50, just west of Tahoe. The alpine environment was just perfect in early September and I found both wildflowers and fungus.
The view from the parking lot
A waterfall at the beginning of the trail
Base of the hike, looking up at the falls. Some hikers went to the top, where a small lake feeds the waterfall
You have to climb up the bare granite in many places
But the waterfall at the top is so worth the trip
And the views out of the valley were outrageous
The creek on the way down was more like a river, and more, smaller, falls
The aforementioned wildflowers
Mushrooms, in September?
