At Yosemite it’s all about the water. Snow melts crystal clear into lakes, rivers and streams and surges wildly over the edges of Yosemite’s peaks and cliffs during the spring thaw. The official Yosemite National Park website tallies its number of waterfalls at “countless.”
The cool mist can drench a hiker and be startling to the unprepared. Many take jackets or rain gear even on the hottest day, knowing that bright sunlight is no temperature match for the icy spray.
We first spied 620-foot Bridalveil Fall through the verdant boughs of Douglas Fir trees that did little to mute the water’s roar. Peak water flow is generally in May, with a soaking mist that will diminish to a mere trickle by summer’s end.

I like both photographs, they display the gorgeousness of waterfall.
Thanks Rohfun. I enjoy finding -and sharing, the cool stuff on this planet.
Rainfield: Thank you very much. I know you share my love of the outdoors (which is why I enjoy riding along on your jungle hikes).

You just get better lassie.
Thanks Donald! I would consider that a very positive trend!
Thanks for the visit and kind comment, Dr. Panda.
aaahhh the beauty of my favourite national park in the world. An extraordinary mix of waterfalls, rockfaces, lakes, towering trees and great walks.
Mark: I’m already feeling the pull for a return trip. There were a couple of hikes we just didn’t have time for. Yosemite has a lot of startling beauty within its acres.
I’ve not been here yet… but it looks like I need to get there? ~ jb///
You DO, JB! I’m planning a kid trip for this summer and am thinking about heading back to Yosemite with them. There’s so much to see and do in that park!
Is it in the USA?
