Bassi Falls, Cascading waterfall in Eldorado National Forest, California
The water plunges 120 feet down granite cliffs, creating multiple tiers before gathering in a clear pool at the base of the falls.
The waterfall remains an integral part of Eldorado National Forest's landscape, drawing visitors to its natural splendor since the area's designation as protected land.
Local residents and travelers gather at the falls during summer months to swim in the natural pools and photograph the surrounding Sierra Nevada wilderness.
Three different trailheads lead to Bassi Falls, with Millionaire Camp offering a 4-mile round trip hike through marked forest paths.
Visitors can access several naturally formed granite swimming holes at different elevations along the waterfall's descent.
