Angel Falls and Devils Slide were a pair of waterfalls on Willow Creek that spilled into the popular play areas on the north shore of Bass Lake. Of the two named waterfalls on Willow Creek…

Corlieu Falls and Red Rock Falls were a couple of waterfalls on Lewis Creek, which sat between the southern boundary of Yosemite National Park and Oakhurst. I looked upon these waterfalls as an…

Whisky Falls (I’ve also seen it spelled Whiskey Falls) was one of those waterfalls that we thought would be a breeze to visit because it didn’t require any hiking to see. Yet for one reason or another

Sardine Falls (also called Sardine Creek Falls) involved a little bit of an adventure for my Mom and I given that we had to get our feet wet in icy cold water while doing a little bit of route…

The Onion Valley Waterfalls are what I’m dubbing the series of cascades draining the many lakes of Onion Valley between Kearsarge Pass and Independence. They were merely my waterfalling excus…

Yep, Pywiack is an elusive falls, tucked in fold in a canyon and viewable from narrow angles. I once did a one day trek from Tenaya Lake to Yosemite Valley. We chose to go when the water was low. The swimming hole at the bottom of Pywiack was just splendid. This hike is not for […]

A little known waterfall in Yosemite is Three Chutes Falls. Also known as Hidden Falls, this waterfall is located about a half mile above mirror lake. It can be reached by walking the Mirror Lake Loop Trail and then hiking along Tenaya Creek for a quarter mile. It cascades about forty feet over open granite […]

Back in 1989 my best friend Glenn Premore who God rest his soul passed away in 1994 showed me and our friends of this wonderful place. Since then I have been coming up every year since then and brought new friends and my two dogs Rebel and Boomer for many years until this past year […]

Moonlight Falls is one of those backcountry waterfalls that’s really more of an incidental attraction in an area better known for 14,000ft peaks and alpine lakes…

Drove into Yosemite and passed this waterfall along the way…due to the large amount of snowfall this year, this waterfall was an absolute beauty to see. 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment Please login or sign up to comment

“Glacier Point Falls” is the informal name I’m giving to this very short-lived waterfall. In all the years I’ve visited Yosemite and hiked the John Muir Trail, I never…

“Shadow Falls” is a name I’ve made up for this surprise cascade that I happened to see during a hike out to the scenic Shadow Lake. As a matter of fact…

Two weeks ago I fulfilled a 60 year dream and made it to the top of Half Dome. Awed by the accomplishment as much as by the view, I stared, speechless, at the still snowcapped peaks. Then I saw Snow Creek Falls ! I couldn’t believe that I’d never seen a picture of this beautiful […]

I visited these falls April 2005 and loved them. It’s almost as good as Yosemite Falls but you have to be in the right place to view them Cascade Falls. I saw the same view as Johnny Cheng. Park at the Inspiration Point (near the tunnel) and carefully walk down the rockface northward to near […]

Carlon Falls was a great find because it was a hot Saturday. We needed a place to swim near our camp (5 miles outside the west gate), but didn’t want to fight the crowds inside Yosemite National Park. We almost had the place to ourselves! 1 CommentOnly logged in users can post a comment Please […]

I have been coming to Huntington Lake since 1962 (bragging rights, which long time visitors are apt to tell anyone who will listen). We usually stay a week at Lakeview Cottages on the other side of the lake. At least once during that week, we would trek to the falls. It is an easy hike, […]

The Big Pine Creek Waterfalls are the series of waterfalls and cascades primarily on the North Fork of Big Pine Creek. But the real objective for visitors to this part of the…

My most successful backpacking trip was from Tuolumne Meadows to Glen Aulin with my two sons, my nephew, my oldest son’s friend, and two of my best friends (the two handsome old guys on the right side of the picture). To see all the water falls in the early summer is truly beautiful. The trip […]

Darwin Falls epitomized what was perhaps one of the great paradoxes when it comes to waterfalling in California. Sitting within the boundaries of Death Valley National Park, which was known as…
