Unlike some of the other regions in our country that you may travel to, Nevada isn’t a state that has a large abundance of waterfalls. While visitors will be able to find other kinds of outdoor attractions that are worth visiting, those who live in Carson City know that there’s actually a hidden oasis right here in our state.

Have time to take a quick adventure? Let’s hope so, because everyone must visit this epic waterfall as soon as possible:

Not far from Lake Tahoe, you'll find a quick and relatively easy trail that will lead you someplace wonderful.
