Nice short stroll. There are clean bathrooms at the trailhead. Plenty of parking. Trail is paved and wheel chair friendly. Unfortunately due to the drought, the falls is completely dry.

Want a pretty view with a relatively short walk? This is the trail for you! I’m not really a hiker but this wasn’t really a hike. The path is paved the entire way to the view of the falls. The trail is half a mile so you complete a full mile on a trip out and back. This will feel like nothing at all because there is so much to look at along the way. There are even benches along the trail to stop for a breather or to enjoy the scenery. A cute little bridge on the trail allows a good view of the water rushing by to the top of the falls. The view of the actual falls is breathtaking and I couldn’t have picked better weather that day! There was a light breeze at the top of the trail that felt nice. I loved walking along taking pictures as I continued on the path both to and from the falls. This area is just so scenic! There are bathrooms at the very beginning of this trail but keep in mind you are in a national park, there is no running water! Be sure to pack your hand sanitizer. While there is a trail is it a bit narrow and I saw a couple struggling with a double stroller along the path. This is definitely more suited for a single stroller. You will also have to step to the side to let groups pass by you. Heads up: The road up to the trail head is narrow and pretty winding so keep an eye and ear out for other cars because some parts of this road are not wide enough to allow passing. It is only a single lane so be careful and observant!

The Frazier Falls Trial is beautiful vistas, clean air and easy access for a nice family outing. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. It’s a geologic paradise. The trail is ½ mile easy hike. You will see the munificent Frazier Falls at the end of the trial. This is a must visit place of you’re in the Portola area.

If you’re looking for an easy hike with outstanding scenic views, this is the one for you. The Frazier Falls Trail is a PAVED1 mile out and back trail(½ mile out + ½ mile back). As it is paved, it is even accessible by wheelchair. Elevation: ~6,200 ft. Difficulty: Easy Hiking Season: May to November Gold Lake Highway intersects with Highway 89 approximately 48 miles North of Truckee(1 ½ miles South of Graeagle). Take the Gold Lake Highway for 1.6 miles and watch for a turnoff on the left which is marked«Frazier Falls 4». Turn here, and be aware that the next 4+ miles can be challenging in the early or late season when there may still be snow present at the higher elevations. Go 4.2 miles to a parking lot from which the trailhead is accessible.
