Nature
Yosemite Falls, the highest waterfall in Yosemite National Park, drops a total of 2,425 feet in three sections: Upper Yosemite Fall, the Middle Cascades, and Lower Yosemite Fall. Fed by snowmelt on Yosemite Creek, it is strongest in late spring and may dry up by late summer or fall in less wet years. The lower fall is easily reached in Yosemite Valley, while the trail to the top of the upper fall is steep and strenuous, and the surrounding terrain can be dangerous. For the Ahwahneechee, who called it Cholock, the falls held deep spiritual meaning and stood beside their main village.
