    Tips

    Hiking

    It is a 2,400-foot (739-meter) waterfall, the highest in North America and the fifth highest in the solar system. It is ten times higher than Niagara or Shoshone Falls, almost twice as high as the Empire State Building, and about as tall as a 200-story building if anyone ever built one.

    Best time to visit: In the spring, when the water roars off the falls and the breeze it creates on the bridge under the falls will blow your hat off your head.

    Hiking

    Central Highlight in Yosemite Valley. Watch out for the right season, to be sure the falls actually have water. Webcam available at the park's website.

    Hiking

    Peak of the amount of water in May - hardly any water to be seen in late summer / early autumn. In addition to the Valley vmtl. the absolute highlight!
