Cataract Trail leads from Alpine Lake reservoir up along the waterfalls of Cataract Creek (particularly impressive in spring after the winter rains), crosses Laurel Dell, and ends at the Rock Springs trailhead at the intersection of Rock Spring trail with Pan Toll Road and Ridgecrest Boulevard, which leads up to Mt Tam summit.
