After 3.5 miles turn left onto Jumbo Grade. This road will lead you four miles into the hills, past the old town site of Jumbo. When the road starts to disappear, you will need to get out and walk the final two miles to the falls. Four-wheel drive vehicles are a must on this one, as are a pair of sturdy feet. Hikers, bikers and horses.
Kids are OK if they re in good shape.
This one s a rarity, indeed an almost-hometown waterfall that s pretty nice. These falls come down out of the Carson Range between Lake Tahoe and Carson City. Follow King s Canyon up into the hills and park when the road turns to dirt. From the parking area, take the path that leads up and to the right. The trail here is a little rugged, but it s less than a mile and good for hiking or biking.
