Tamanawas Falls cascades 100 feet over a cliff along Cold Springs Creek. This waterfall is truly breathtaking and can be nothing short of magical in the winter.
Located on the east--and less visited--side of the mountain, Tamanawas is a favorite amongst photographers. While the trail can get crowded during the warmer months, winter offers up a more quiet exploration.
Whether you are coming for a good workout, a new experience on snowshoes, or a chance to capture the perfect photo, the snow and the falls make a pretty good backdrop.
