Alder Creek Falls
Alder Creek Falls probably gets my vote as the truly “secret” or “hidden” waterfall of Yosemite National Park. It has an unsigned trailhead, requires an eight-mile round-trip out-and-back hike…
“Fremont River Falls”
“Fremont River Falls” is an informal name that I’ve given to this waterfall since I haven’t seen any official moniker for it. Given that it sits on the Freemont River, which is a river that…
