Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Tueeulala Fall (when it’s flowing) is probably the first waterfall you’ll notice as you approach the parking area for Hetch Hetchy.

This tall, plunging waterfall together with Wapama Falls complements Kolana Rock and the Hetch Hetchy Valley panorama.

I tend to think of panorama in much the same way that Bridalveil Fall complements El Capitan and the Yosemite Valley panorama.

Although Tueeulala Fall is reported to be 840ft tall, there seems to be some discrepancy in either its reported height or in the reported height of the adjacent Wapama Falls.

The latter is listed at 1,341ft even though they both look like they’re practically falling from the same cliff and ending up in the same reservoir!

Nonetheless, Tueeulala Fall does have a taller freefall of the two since Wapama Falls is really broken up into a series of shorter (albeit powerful) drops.

We’ve visited Hetch Hetchy numerous times, and over the years, we’ve come to learn that this waterfall typically had a rather short and enigmatic season for flow.
