Eagle Falls and Cascade Falls Popular Eagle Falls comes with a bonus cascade that is about one-quarter mile from the Eagle Falls parking lot as you head toward Desolation Wilderness. If you are only going as far as these falls, you will not need a wilderness permit, says Forest Service naturalist Gay Eitel. If you are going beyond the bridge, you will need a permit, which you can get at the trailhead. A well-maintained trail leads 1,200 feet to the Upper Eagle Falls. The bottom gets a 3 and the top a 1.
