Lakes and Waterfalls Helicopter Tour

Starting at South Tahoe Airport, this 30 minute tour first embarks to Emerald Bay, then south along the mountains over Cascade Lake, past Mount Tallac, and over the shoreline of Fallen Leaf lake. Head west over Glen Alpine Creek, with Glen Alpine Falls below, climbing towards Pyramid Peak, at an elevation of 9,984 feet! The area is scattered with myriad lakes and waterfalls. Fly over Lake Aloha and past Horsetail Falls, dropping nearly 500 feet. The tour concludes by flying over upper and lower Echo Lake before returning to the airport.

*Please note: While the lakes are always present, seasonal snow and rainfall, as well as time of year, affect the size of waterfalls in the area.

*The area in which this tour operates is prone to turbulence due to the topography of the area and frequently subject to route change for this reason. The alternative in the event of excessive turbulence is the Sand Harbor tour, equally as beautiful, and also 30 minutes.
