About This Trail
A short stroll to the tallest waterfall in Northern America and fifth in the world will show you how amazing it is. This trail is easy in the summer but hard in the winter. It takes 30 minutes to complete a 1 mile loop. The loop is accessible in one way or another. The Lower Yosemite Fall Trailhead is where the start of the trail is located. This walk provides great views of the Lower and Upper two of the famous waterfalls. The waterfall is best seen in the spring when the winter snow is melting and the upper lakes are full.
