Bassi Falls
Directions:From Hwy #50 about 20 miles east of Placerville,
turn left (north) onto Ice House Rd (Forest Road 3). Drive 15.9
miles on Ice House Rd. to Union Valley Reservoir. Turn right
onto an unmarked dirt road (Road 12N32), just after crossing
the bridge over Big Silver Creek (opposite Big Silver group
camp).
We will start from Ice house Road and walk the 1.7 miles to the
actual trailhead. We will be on the forest road that leads to
the trailhed. A gentle climb through the tall pines and
underbrush and a few wildflowers. Once we get to the trailhead
it’s another .7 miles to Bassi Falls. As we get to the falls
we will come out of the forest onto a large granite floor area
with few trees and brush growing from it. Bassi Falls cascades
109 feet through large broken granite rock, then the stream
flows many different paths over the granite slab. Views of the
valley to the west and Big Hill also once we hit this point
Lunch or snack at the falls.
Big Hill has awesome 360-degree view from the top of It as it
is the tallest hill from there to the Cascade Range and the
surrounding area. Side trip on the way back if anyone wants to.
A short 3-mile drive to the top.

Hey Gary,
By your description it sounds like the hike is around 5 miles. How
many miles will the hike be?
