Begin your adventure achieving your wilderness permit at the Desolation Wilderness Trailhead!

Then you will follow Pryamid trail which follows the creek until you reach the magnificent Horse Tail Falls in all her glory. Then you will begin ascending up the 1,538 in less than 2 miles, so prepare for a boot burner while being rewarded with the roaring falls cheering you on along the way.

Ropi Lake is beautiful, gorgeous, and truly desolate.
