    This fall is the first one to see before you arrive to the Yosemite Valley. It has water all year around, the name comes from the way the water falls (except in spring that is much bigger the flow)

    You can park the car at the sides and walk to the base of the fall.

    Other Water Falls: Illilouette Falls

    Ilouette Falls
    by VeronicaG
    When seen from Glacier Point, Illilouette Falls seems like a small, wisp of a thing but it's actually 370 feet tall. It is directly across from the larger Vernal Falls.

    It flows year round, peaking in May from the melting snow, never drying up like the more famous Yosemite Falls. Illilioutte can best be seen from the Panorama Trail leading from Glacier Point. This trail is said to be the best day long hike in all of Yosemite.

    Click to enlarge the photo and you'll see it in the middle of the picture, almost hidden by the tree tops.

    On your way back from Glacier Point, take a closer but careful look from the cliff edges of Illilouette Falls, the distant spectacle you saw hours early before even reaching Vernal Falls. Both falls roughly drop from the same height, but judging the respective merits and settings must lie with the viewer.

    Here's a closer look at 2 of Hetch Hetchy's major waterfalls. The Tueeulala & Wapama Falls both drop 1000 ft. and are best viewed in early spring. The Tueeulala dries up by early summer.

    The Wapama Falls is 2.5 miles from the dam and can be hiked in about 4 hours.

    Ribbon Falls may pale in comparison with Bridalveil Falls, but since they greet incoming travelers at roughly the same time, the less robust but much higher falls is worth a closer look. At 1,612 feet, Ribbon Falls enjoys the longest leap of any tumbler in the park, including the single plunge of Upper Yosemite Falls.

    by mrclay2000
    If you keep pressing on beyond Vernal Falls, you'll have to accept a long hike that roughly constricts your scenery until you reach Nevada Falls, which at nearly 600 feet in height is roughly twice the height of Vernal. Both falls offer the explosive crashing of terrific output in the right season.

    If you're under the right conditions, you might even think Liberty Cap is as prominent an attraction as the much smaller Nevada Falls. Liberty Cap (like nearby Half Dome) is a strange formation that rises oddly from the rest of the range, visible even from the footbridge below Vernal Falls much lower in the same canyon.

    Falls

    In the mid to late spring, Vernal Falls narrows a vibrant creek into its explosive runoff. Nevada Falls narrows a more modest creek, then swirls it in a few enormous chambers before savagely throwing it over the ledge. The warnings against falling into the water are more potent here, especially with the higher drop as compared to Vernal, but both falls are dangerous at the top. Cross the narrow footbridge at Nevada Falls (compare the scale with the woman in the picture), and you'll see what I mean.

    Sentinel Fall
    by chewy3326
    Tiny Sentinel Creek cascades 2000 feet into Yosemite Valley. Though this is one of the tallest waterfalls in the valley, it goes virtually unnoticed; most viewpoints where you can see this waterfall also feature Yosemite Falls, a more powerful and photogenic waterfall. Still, it's worth trying to find this waterfall; from the trailhead for the Four-Mile Trail, look to the right of the Sentinel, and you'll see the fall. Another viewpoint, a bit more dangerous though, is on the Pohono Trail. You can peer over the edge of a cliff to see cascade. This waterfall is never very large, and eventually dries up.

    by chewy3326
    While you're at Tunnel View, most of the tourists will be gawking at the view of the valley below. But if you're visiting in spring or early summer and want to see a rarely noticed waterfall, turn right and look up into the cliffs. Silver Strand Falls drops 1170 feet down the walls of the Valley. Since its drainage is small, the fall dries up early in the year. The falls is also known as Widows Tears. You'll have to enlargen my photo to see the waterfall.
