Details of the trail
A nice place to hike and see waterfalls
Cataract Falls is located in Marin County in the state of California . Precisely, in Mount Tamalpais Watershed. There are different possible Cataract Falls trails to follow and so many great spots. So, be sure to bring your camera to save the moments.
Actually, Cataract Falls is astonishing but also expect a good workout as well ! Indeed, this trail is about 7 miles long and the starting point is at Alpine Lake. Since parking spots are limited, if you plan to come during the weekend, I recommend to be there earlier. You will find a few places to park along the road near the entrance. Definitely, the best season to go is early Spring right after the rains. Nevertheless, most of the hike is in the forest, therefore shaded, so even on hot days you will enjoy this Cataract Falls trail. By the way, you may choose to have a picnic at the lake and take some rest there in a very peaceful setting.
