About Silver Strand Falls
Silver Strand Falls is perhaps the most overlooked waterfall due to its unfortunate position at the famous Tunnel View Overlook.
While just about everyone fixes their eyes at El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall framing the Gates of Yosemite Valley, very few people bother to look up above the Wawona Tunnel.
In fact, we were guilty of the same thing, and it wasn’t until our third visit to Yosemite National Park and the Tunnel Overlook did we finally bother to look up and notice this guy!

This waterfall seemed to have a pretty short season. We say this because we showed up to see this waterfall a merely three weeks too early in the Spring when there was still snow in the High Country and the waterfall didn’t have very good flow.
This waterfall was also said to typically go dry a little after the Summer Solstice occurs given its limited drainage.
So given all the factors with timing and position, it’s probably no wonder that millions of people may see the Gates of Yosemite Valley from the Tunnel View Overlook, but probably less than 1% of them (and this is totally a guess) even notice this waterfall despite being visible from the same overlook.
