    Hiking

    The best view of Yosemite Falls is from the small spur trail leading to the falls. From here you can also see Half Dome. From summer onwards, the waterfall usually no longer flows. A visit is therefore more worthwhile in spring or, after snowy winters, in early summer.

    Hiking

    By deviating from the fixed path for a while you come over large rocks to under the waterfall, where not many hikers come. Standing under it is an experience to remember. In July this is achievable if the waterfall is not powerful.

    Hiking

    The whole Yosemite Park is a highlight for every hiker, the Upper & Lower Yosemite Falls are impressive, even without water :)
