DIRECTIONS - This waterfall is located a few hundred feet upstream from Apogee Falls. From there, head upstream to the falls. The easiest route is to stay on top of the canyon. It's possible to get to the base, but it's quite a bit more difficult and you'll have to ford the cold creek twice in the process.

Zenith Falls is the uppermost of the three waterfalls on the middle stretch of Pyramid Creek. The falls drop a total of 84' in two tiers. From the base, only the 54' tall main drop can be seen. It's a beautiful drop, but the view is from really close so it's a little tricky to photograph. The area around Pyramid Creek is unbelievably beautiful and this shows up at the falls as well with moss and evergreen surrounding the area. If you are hiking to Pyramid Lake, it's definitely worth the little side trip to check out these waterfalls if you have the time.
