    Hiking

    As you approach Lower Yosemite Fall Vista Point, the sound of the roaring waterfall builds anticipation. Once you arrive, you're greeted by the stunning sight of the fall cascading down granite cliffs, showing off Yosemite's power and beauty. The viewpoint is easily accessible to all, winding through lush vegetation with several spots to stop and everything in. Being so close hikers can feel refreshing mist with incredible photo opportunities.

    Hiking

    From a wide bridge you have a perfect view of you Lower Falls, you are just below it, so to speak. We were there in the fall, so unfortunately there was no water, as these waterfalls caused by the snow melt. But still, the view of these huge rock faces is very impressive.

    The lower part of the Yosemite Falls is very imposing with its 98m.
