Galena Creek Falls drops 82 ft (25 m) as a cascade waterfall in Nevada.
Its water comes from Galena Creek. You'll find it in Washoe, Nevada. It is protected within Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest (USFS) / Tahoe Rim Trail.
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Incline Village, the closest town.
When to go: Early-mid summer (Jun-Jul). Like most waterfalls, Galena Creek Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
