Yosemite Falls is the highest waterfall in Yosemite, standing at roughly 2,425 feet total, and it earns every bit of that reputation in spring. When it’s running hard, the sound alone is unreal!
It’s also one of the most accessible spots in the park, right off the valley floor near Yosemite Valley Lodge, which makes it a great option if you’re bringing guests or just want something close to home base. One thing to know: by late summer the falls can slow to a trickle or disappear entirely, so if the waterfall is the whole point, plan accordingly and aim for spring through early summer.
